A new HI absorption survey with ASKAP detects cold gas extensively across the Magellanic system, finding a cold neutral medium fraction of 0.12 in the Bridge similar to the SMC.
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.
Improved VMC proper motions show SMC expansion along SE-NW axes consistent with LMC tides, radial inward motions with no rotation, and northward motion in older RGB stars from a prior interaction.

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.

Improved VMC proper motions show SMC expansion along SE-NW axes consistent with LMC tides, radial inward motions with no rotation, and northward motion in older RGB stars from a prior interaction.
