Fig. 2.

Position of the seven star clusters in relative equatorial coordinates as defined by D14, as seen in the planes (Δα,Δδ), (Δα,dist), and (Δδ,dist). Background points are all star clusters from Bica et al. (2020). The seven clusters are located in the proposed ‘Counter-Bridge’ 2D projected region by D14, but we now show that this region actually contains Bridge and Counter-Bridge clusters in 6D phase-space. The turquoise shaded area is a first approximation for the region bound to the SMC. Linear fits were performed for Bridge clusters only, considering the uncertainties. See Appendix A.3 for a 3D view of the clusters and a movie is also provided online.
