KRATOS: A large suite of N-body simulations to interpret the stellar kinematics of LMC-like discs

The Large and Small Magellanic Cloud (LMC and SMC, respectively) are the brightest satellites of the Milky Way (MW) and, for the previous thousands of million years, they have been interacting with one another. Since observations only provide a static picture of the entire process, numerical simulations are used to interpret the present-day observational properties of these kinds of systems.

KRATOS is a comprehensive suite of 28 open access pure N-body simulations of isolated and interacting LMC-like galaxies, to study the formation of substructures in their disc after the interaction with an SMC-mass galaxy.
