Traditional virial mass estimates, which rely on line-of-sight (LoS) velocities and simplified infall assumptions, are prone to systematic biases due to unobserved velocity components and anisotropic kinematics. Using the TNG cosmological simulation, we examined two limiting cases: the minor infall model – which ignores velocities perpendicular to LoS directions – and the major infall model – which assumes purely radial motion toward the center of mass (CoM). Our simulations demonstrate that geometric corrections are vital: the minor infall model underestimates the true mass, while the major infall model overestimates it. By applying these calibrated corrections to observed dwarf galaxy kinematics within 1 Mpc of the LG’s CoM, we derived a refined LG mass of <i>M<i/><sub>LG<sub/> = (2.99 ± 0.60)×10<sup>12<sup/> <i>M<i/><sub>⊙<sub/>.

We processed images for low surface brightness (LSB) science, applying additional corrections for instrumental scattering in the short-wavelength channels. We analysed the images using wavelet-based decomposition and extracted and modelled the ICL, brightest cluster galaxy (BCG), and satellite galaxies, generating 2D maps for each component.

Then, the bar rotates at less than Ω<sub>p<sub/> ∼ 3 − 5 km s<sup>−1<sup/> kpc<sup>−1<sup/> for about 100 Myr, until it recovers the initial (before the interaction) pattern speed of Ω<sub>p<sub/> ∼ 10 km s<sup>−1<sup/> kpc<sup>−1<sup/>. The results for the K21 simulation are similar.<i>Conclusions.<i/> We show that galactic bars can be slowed down or even stopped by tidal interaction. This strengthens the hypothesis that the LMC hosts a non-rotating bar, and it can be an alternative formation scenario for other observed slowly rotating bars.","PeriodicalId":8571,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy & Astrophysics","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144165105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
