The LMC impact on the kinematics of the Milky Way satellites: clues from the running solar apex
ABSTRACT Dwarf galaxies provide a unique opportunity for studying the evolution of the Milky Way (MW) and the Local Group as a whole.

Summary: | ABSTRACT
Dwarf galaxies provide a unique opportunity for studying the evolution of the Milky Way (MW) and the Local Group as a whole. Analysing the running solar apex based on the kinematics of the MW satellites, we discovered an unexpected behaviour of the dipole term of the radial velocity distribution as a function of the Galactocentric distance. The nearby satellites ( |
