Caption: Figure 18.

SMC giants shown in the Magellanic Bridge coordinate system. Pixels in the left (right) panel are colored by mean proper motion along XMB (YMB). The black arrow in the left panel points toward the center of the LMC in this system. There is little sign of internal motion in ﹩{\mu }_{{Y}_{\mathrm{MB}}}﹩ with a distinct lack of rotation signal. In the left panel, a clear gradient is seen with SMC giants residing on the side nearest the LMC clearly being disrupted toward the larger Cloud.
