The Magellanic Clouds: Exploring All Aspects of the Magellanic System Including its Link to the Milky Way
This session will explore the Magellanic System from multiple perspectives and wavelengths. The proposed session links together scientists from multiple communities, such those working on Gaia, people working on simulations of the system and its evolution, and those preparing for LSST. This cross-community appeal makes it ideal for inclusion on the parallel session program as the observational and theoretical techniques that will be described will have applicability beyond the Magellanic System. We will also be proposing for an LSST:UK Science Workshop on a similar topic to be held either immediately before or after NAM. The timing of these workshop is proposed to be close to NAM to minimize travel for participants and maximize the number of participants attending who might otherwise choose not to attend either one or the other.
