Fig. 8.
Proper motion maps of the Magellanic Bridge based on method 1 from VMC (top) and Gaia DR2 (bottom) compared with the proper motions obtained from a dynamical model of the SMC−LMC interaction (red arrows). The median proper motion of foreground Milky Way stars (top: |ω| > 0.2 mas; bottom: < 30 kpc) is indicated (blue arrows). The background images show the corresponding stellar densities for VMC (top) and Gaia DR2 (bottom) sources.
