Velocities and positions of the young and intermediate-age clusters within the LMC as a function of the radial distance from the galaxy’s centre, R. In each panel, the clusters with less robust isochrone fits are denoted with diamond symbols and grey error bars. Panel a presents the tangential velocity, Vϕ. Theoretical circular velocities resulting from a pure NFW profile (orange solid line) and a model composed of a dark matter halo and a stellar disc and bar (green dashed line) are also shown. The size of the stellar bar is indicated by the vertical dashed line. Panel b shows the radial velocity, VR; the out-of-plane velocity, VZ, is presented in panel c; and panel d shows the vertical distance from the plane, Z. In all panels, the clusters are colour-coded by the logarithm of their ages (in years).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
