The Distant Milky Way Halo from the Southern Hemisphere: Characterization of the LMC-induced Dynamical Friction Wake

The infall of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) into the Milky Way’s halo impacts the distribution of stars and dark matter (DM) in our Galaxy. Mapping the observational consequences of this encounter can inform us about the properties of both galaxies, details of their interaction, and possibly dist...
