The long-term stability of the Vast Polar Structure and its connection to a possible previous passage of the LMC
Context. The Vast Polar Structure (VPOS) is a thin planar arrangement of co-orbiting dwarf galaxies that is nearly perpendicular to the Milky Way (MW) disc. Its origin and long-term evolution remain open questions.
