  • LMC rotation curve:

Total mass (<9 kpc): 1.7 x 1010 M☉ (van der Marel & Kallivayalil 2014) Total mass (<20 kpc): 3 x 1010 M☉

  • Baryon Fraction (3-5%):

LMC M★: ~ 3x109M☉ -> MDM0.5 - 1 x 1011 M☉ (van der Marel+09)

  • Timing argument: 2.5x 1011 M☉

(Peñarrubia+16)

  • In EAGLE simulation LMC with SMC are found to

have ~3x1011M☉ (Shao+18) Besla+16, Mackey+16. See also: Balbinot et al 2015, Saha et al 2010.

8 high-resolution N-body simulations1 of the LMC in a first infall scenario

  • LMC on first passage, infall DM Mass ~ 1011 M☉
  • MW DM halo initially spherical + MW Disk & Bulge
  • MW mass Mvir= 1.2x1012M☉
  • Two stellar halos density profiles (Xue,+15,

Hernitschek+18) added using a DM halo tagging technique Laporte+13a, 13b. Combined DM halo (LMC+MW) is not spherical,

  • blate, prolate or triaxial.

Conclusions:

LMC is massive and near pericenter, making it hard to study in existing cosmological simulations. 1. Preliminary work (idealized Nbody) shows that within 40 kpc the LMC’s impact is minimal. 2. Outside 40 kpc, the LMC should leave an observational imprint, both trailing and leading its current location. Imprints are both density enhancements and kinematic perturbations. 3. The kinematics of the stellar halo traces the DM halo response. 4. We are making predictions for observations. (If you are interested please come talk to me) The time evolution of the DM halo potential owing to the LMC is also in progress.
