Together, these scenarios give strong corroboration of our current gravitational mass estimates and suggests a rapidly evolving LMC.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-11-12T20:24:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "milky way disk", "magellanic clouds", "vice versa", "current gravitational mass estimates", "observable galactic disk structure" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 491024 } } }
