The LMC is a massive dwarf companion to our Milky Way, with at least a tenth the mass of the Milky Way. It’s swinging around our galaxy for the first time on a trajectory that aligns with the Milky Way's plane of satellites. It seems unlikely that this alignment is a coincidence. New research led by Nico Garavito Camargo (Arizona Ph.D., 2021), Ekta Patel (Arizona Ph.D., 2019) and Associate Professor Gurtina Besla, have suggested that the LMC has inspired the observationally rare and seemingly mysterious properties of this polar structure.

Here are links to three recent science news articles from the Dept. of Astronomy/Steward Observatory: Hot Jupiters, protocluster of galaxies at redshift 2, "special deliveries" podcast.

1) NASA Sagan Fellow Megan Mansfield led a study of the chemical makeup of Hot Jupiters. A coauthor is David Sing, who got a BS from UArizona Astronomy in 2000.

2) Associate Professor Brenda Frye was part of a team discovering members of a protocluster of galaxies at redshift 2. Two press releases can be seen HERE and HERE. Former Steward postdoc Hervé Dole is also a coauthor.

3) Ass't Professor Erika Hamden was ob a poscast about "special deliveries", "when it absolutely has to be there...", LINK.  "This hour, TED speakers explore the often perilous journey of crucial deliveries."
