The detailed SFH of the LMC compared with SF enhancements from P. Massana et al. (2022) and A. Mazzi et al. (2021). The blue solid line shows the median star-forming R_b, and the dashed lines show 1.5∗MAD. The black lines are the center of the SF episodes identified from the literature as indicated in the legends, the SMC pericenter passage times are taken from model 2 predictions in G. Besla et al. (2012), and the possible first passage time with the MW 5–10 Gyr ago is shown on the top (E. Vasiliev 2024). The steepening in the metallicity gradient and the increase in SF around 1.1, 3, and perhaps 5 Gyr match our expectations for an infalling satellite with varying disk alignments. In this case, it is likely the SMC or the LMC passage with the MW. The location of the starbursts suggests aligned disk spin orientations between the merging galaxies during the 5 and 1.1 Gyr passages and misaligned or perpendicular disk spin orientations for the 3 Gyr passage based on results from simulation analysis (J. Moreno et al. 2015). The enhancements at 0.5 and 2 Gyr taken from P. Massana et al. (2022) have no significant signatures in our R_b distribution. It is also interesting to point out that the SF happens at the outer disk for the three pericenter predictions, suggesting the alignments between the LMC and SMC disks do not change if the predictions from the model are correct.
