Vector diagram of residual proper motion in the LMC disc plane, aligned with the sky plane, for a single realisation of the base case dynamical model. Left: Residual proper motion for one realisation exhibiting the motion towards the east. The reduced number density in the inner region results from considering only sources with an apocentre greater than 7 kpc. Right: The same residual map, with the inner 5 deg overlaid with residual motion from VMC data shown in red arrows. A reference length for the vectors is shown. The background displays the density of particles per bin in a 100 × 100 grid, from the simulation. The dynamical centre, taken from Cullinane et al. (2022b), is marked by a black cross. East is to the left, and north is to the top.
