The centers of the stellar population in the LMC for various ages, is shown in the plane of the LMC, with error bars. The direction of the velocity vector of the LMC is shown in red at a position angle of 72°, (calculated from the proper motion values provided by Piatek et al. 2008) and the line of interaction of the MW and the LMC according to our convention at a position angle of 26°. The direction given in van der Marel (2001) is shown in green. KC is the HI kinematic center (Kim et al. 1998) shown in blue, and OC is the optical center of the LMC shown as a red point.
