SUMMARY: Dance of the Milky Way and the LMC - Denis Erkal (Surrey)
DTSTART:20210219T113000Z

UID:TALK156025@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Martin Haehnelt
DESCRIPTION:The LMC is the largest satellite of our Galaxy and has a total
  mass\nroughly 1/6th that of the Milky Way. In this talk\, I will review t
 he multiple lines of evidence for the LMC being so massive and then focus 
 on the substantial effect it has on our Galaxy. In particular\, I will dis
 cuss its effect on many of the stellar streams around the Milky Way which 
 have been perturbed by the LMC. I will then discuss the stellar halo and s
 how that the outskirts of the Milky Way\, beyond ~30 kpc\, are significant
 ly out of dynamical equilibrium due to the acceleration of the Milky Way b
 y the LMC. I will end with some preliminary predictions of how the dark ma
 tter haloes of the Milky Way and LMC are tidally deforming in the presence
 \nof each other and how we can hope to measure this effect in the coming y
 ears using tidal streams.\n
