REVISITING THE ROLE OF M31 IN THE DYNAMICAL HISTORY OF THE MAGELLANIC CLOUDS
We study the dynamics of the Magellanic Clouds in a model for the Local Group whose mass is constrained using the timing argument/two-body limit of the action principle. The goal is to evaluate the role of M31 in generating the high angular momentum orbit of the Clouds, a puzzle that has only been e...
