An intriguing coincidence between the majority of vast polar structure dwarfs and a recent major merger at the M31 position

Open Access

Fig. 6.

Best solution of M31 merger model 290 under MW potential model B. LMC neighbour particles (yellow) are at 0.1 Gyr for the best association. The LMC dwarfs (green), slow dwarfs (red), and other dwarfs (blue) are at the current epoch (0 Gyr). The MW is shown in black.
