Extended Data Fig. 2: Angular momentum components of halo stars at Galactocentric distances r > 20 kpc.
From: Detection of the Milky Way reflex motion due to the Large Magellanic Cloud infall
Blue and red dots denote BHB and K giant stars, respectively. The angular momentum of the Sagittarius dwarf is marked with a black dot at \({{\bf{L}}}_{{\rm{sgr}}} \,\,(\ {\rm{in}}\, {\rm{units}}\, {\rm{of}}\, {\rm{kpc}}\ {\rm{km}}\ {{\rm{s}}}^{-1})=(605,-4,515,-1,267)\). For reference, circles mark angular momentum difference \(| {\bf{L}}-{{\bf{L}}}_{{\rm{sgr}}}| =3,000\ \ {\rm{kpc}}\ {\rm{km}}\ {{\rm{s}}}^{-1}\). Panels a–c and panels d–f correspond to stars at ∣Bsgr∣ < 20∘ and ∣Bsgr∣ > 20∘ off the orbtital plane of the Sagittarius stream, respectively. We show the mean 1σ error bar at r > 40 kpc in the lower left of the centre column.
