Idealized simulations with live gas particles show the LMC corona's present-day velocity and column density profiles match a first-passage orbit but are too low in a second-passage orbit, yielding truncation radii of 16.6 kpc versus 5.7 kpc and strongly disfavoring the latter.

The LMC Corona Favors a First Passage
Idealized simulations with live gas particles show the LMC corona's present-day velocity and column density profiles match a first-passage orbit but are too low in a second-passage orbit, yielding truncation radii of 16.6 kpc versus 5.7 kpc and strongly disfavoring the latter.
