Extended Data Fig. 6: Velocity of the Galactic disk (vtravel) inferred from the kinematics of stellar tracers located at r > 40 kpc as a function of LMC mass.
From: Detection of the Milky Way reflex motion due to the Large Magellanic Cloud infall
The solid (dashed) lines show the true speed of the disk barycentre relative to dark matter particles within a radial range 40 < r < 150 on the infall (flipped) trajectories in the mock LMC models, where radius r is in kiloparsecs. The blue (red) symbols show the value of vtravel measured from the mock models in the infall (flipped) trajectory case.
