Ram-Pressure Induced Star Formation in the LMC
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 March 2013
Abstract
We use high-resolution n-body/SPH simulations to study the hydrodynamical interaction between the Large Magellanic Cloud and the hot halo of the Milky Way. We investigate whether the ram-pressure acting on the gaseous disk of the satellite can explain the peculiarities observed in the Hi distribution and the location of the recent star formation activity.
