Asymmetric bar signature in KRATOS simulations

Abstract

The radial and residual tangential velocity map in the Large Magellanic Cloud bar with GaiaDR3 data shows that the expected quadrupole pattern is asymmetric. We plan to analyse the cause of asymmetries using KRATOS simulations, a suite of 24 LMC-like N-body simulations.
