A Galactic Transformation—Understanding the SMC’s Structural and Kinematic Disequilibrium

The SMC is in disequilibrium. Gas line-of-sight (LOS) velocity maps show a gradient of 60–100 km s ^−1 , generally interpreted as a rotating gas disk consistent with the Tully–Fisher relation. Yet, the stars don’t show rotation. Despite a small on-sky extent (∼4 kpc), the SMC exhibits a large (∼10 k...
