High-velocity star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

GRAFF D.S. and GOULD A.P.

Abstract (from CDS):

Light-echo measurements show that SN 1987A is 425 pc behind the LMC disk. It is continuing to move away from the disk at 18 km.s–1. Thus, it has been suggested that SN 1987A was ejected from the LMC disk. However, SN 1987A is a member of a star cluster, so this entire cluster would have to have been ejected from the disk. We show that the cluster was formed in the LMC disk, with a velocity perpendicular to the disk of about 50 km.s–1. Such high-velocity formation of a star cluster is unusual, having no known counterpart in the Milky Way.
