Gaia/Euclid mock catalogues in the Magellanic Clouds

Abstract

The quality of GaiaDR3 proper motions make them suitable for mapping for the first time the 3D velocity field of the Large Magellanic Cloud disc kinematics. These maps show a high degree of complexity and comparison with controlled N-body simulations becomes essential. We plan to use  KRATOS simulations, a suite of 24 LMC-like N-body simulations, to understand the disc kinematics and transform them to a Gaia mock catalogue and/or an Euclid mock catalogue.
