The Magellanic Cloud Interaction: Interpretation and Constraints from Observations of Carbon Stars as “Test Particles”
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
Since gravity alone acts on them, and their evolutionary age restricts sampling to “mid-life”, carbon stars are examined as tracers of recent dynamical evolution of the Magellanic Clouds. Ablation processes modify the distribution of HI, and velocity outliers reflect recent tidal interactios.
