Schematic diagram showing the positions on the sky of our target clusters. The dashed ellipse represents the 2° near‐infrared isopleth from van der Marel (2001), which roughly outlines the LMC’s bar. Also shown are the LMC centers used by van der Marel & Cioni (2001, square), van der Marel et al. (2002, triangle), and Olsen & Salyk (2002, star). The position angle of the line of nodes derived by each of these authors is plotted as the solid line passing through the appropriate LMC center.
