Current simulations suggest that the MB forms from a recent interaction between the Clouds. In this scenario, the MB should also have an associated stellar bridge formed by stars tidally stripped from the SMC by the LMC. There are several observational evidences for these stripped stars, from the presence of intermediate age populations in the MB and carbon stars, to the recent observation of an over-density of RR Lyrae stars offset from the MB. However, spectroscopic confirmation of stripped stars in the MB remains lacking. In this paper, we use medium resolution spectra to derive the radial velocities and metallicities of stars in two fields along the MB. We show from both their chemistry and kinematics that the bulk of these stars must have been tidally stripped from the SMC. This is the first spectroscopic evidence for a dwarf galaxy being2017MNRAS.471.4571Chttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/471/4571CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/ApJS/101/41 : SMC and Bridge extended catalog (Bica+ 1995)J/MNRAS/339/105 : Western Magellanic Bridge HI observations (Muller+, 2003)J/ApJ/658/345 : CRIc photometry of Magellanic Bridge Fields (Harris, 2007)J/ApJ/658/358 : Ae/Be stars of Magellanic Bridge in JHKs (Nishiyama+, 2007)J/A+A/551/A78 : Magellanic Bridge Catalogue of Stars - MBCS (Bagheri+, 2013)J/ApJ/785/162 : YSO candidates in the Magellanic Bridge (Chen+, 2014)J/ApJ/795/108 : Stellar populations in Magellanic bridge (Skowron+, 2014)J/MNRAS/467/1776 : Faraday rotation in Magellanic Bridge (Kaczmarek+, 2017)J/AcA/67/363 : New star clusters in the Magellanic system (Sitek+, 2017)J/AJ/159/82 : Extended objects in Magellanic clouds (Bica+, 2020)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/471/4571https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/471/4571http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/471/4571https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/471/4571https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/471/4571http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/471/4571GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/MNRAS/471/4571/table1 (Observed stars)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/471/4571/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/471/4571/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/471/4571/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true38.8475395-72.06721830.0055555555555555565/8250 6/32951 32992 32994-32995 32998 33004 330067.952274030004205e-20 1.0188844282367877e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/MNRAS/471/4571?format=asciiInfrareddefaultJ/MNRAS/471/4571/table1Observed starsSimbadNameSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.idcharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
