Response of the LMC’s Bar to a Recent SMC Collision and Implications for the SMC’s Dark Matter Profile

Response of the LMC’s Bar to a Recent SMC Collision and Implications for the SMC’s Dark Matter Profile

The LMC’s stellar bar is offset from the outer disk center, tilted from the disk plane, and does not drive gas inflows. These properties are atypical of bars in gas-rich galaxies, yet the LMC bar’s strength and radius are similar to typical barred galaxies. Using N -body hydrodynamic simulations, we...
