The Warp of the Galaxy and the Orientation of the LMC Orbit
I. Garcia-Ruiz, K. Kuijken, J. Dubinski
Abstract
After studying the orientation of a warp generated by a companion satellite, we show that the Galactic Warp would be oriented in a different way if the Magellanic Clouds were its cause. We have treated the problem analytically, and complemented it with numerical N-Body simulations.
