Comparison of the radial, V_R (left panels), and residual tangential, $V_{\varphi }-\overline{V_{\varphi }}$ (right panels), velocity maps between the G_LMC and the G_LMC – G_SMC of the K6 simulation right after the second pericentric passage, at t = 0 Ga (KRATOS suite, JA24). We show the same snapshot of the K6 simulation for two cases: G_LMC disc only (top panels), and G_LMC disc and G_SMC particles (bottom panels). All maps are seen face-on, in the LMC in-plane (x′,y′) Cartesian coordinate system. A black contour line separates the overdensities (bar and spiral arms) from the underdensities.
