Fig. 25
The locations of the MW, LMC, and the SMC are shown in the plane of the LMC, the direction of the velocity vector of the LMC is shown in red at a position angle 72°, and the line of interaction of the MW and the LMC according to our convention is drawn at a position angle of 26°. The Galactic center taken from van der Marel (2001) is shown in green at a PA 42°. The location of the SMC is such that the LMC lies in the line of interaction of the SMC and the MW.
