Supplements: Study of the Magellanic Clouds and Hypervelocity Stars Using Monte Carlo Simulations
Authors/Creators
Description
The orbital evolution of Large and Small Magellanic Clouds were studied under the influence of the gravitational field of Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. Two distinct potentials were used to study the effect of potential variations. Their orbits were integrated backwards in time to study historical trajectory of the galaxies. The interactions were studied probabilistically, using Monte Carlo simulation, to estimate nearest approach both temporally and spatially. The investigation yielded that their event of closest interaction likely occurred near the present epoch. Furthermore, Hypervelocity Stars (HVS) were investigated to determine their possible origins through 3D orbital simulation with respect to combined potential of LMC, SMC and MW. This revealed that the HVS did not originated from a single source. This study confirms that utilizing accurate Galactic potentials with stochastic modeling, dynamical history of satellite galaxies and stellar populations can be investigated.
