Orbits of massive satellite galaxies – I. A close look at the Large Magellanic Cloud and a new orbital history for M33
The Milky Way (MW) and M31 both harbour massive satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and M33, which may comprise up to 10 per cent of their host's total mass. Massive satellites can change the orbital barycentre of the host-satellite system by tens of kiloparsec and are cosmolog...
