An [$α$/Fe]-enhanced thick disk in a Milky Way Analogue [PDF]
, 2021 The Milky Way disk consists of two prominent components - a thick, alpha-rich, low-metallicity component and a thin, metal-rich, low-alpha component. External galaxies have been shown to contain thin and thick disk components, but whether distinct components in the [$\alpha$/Fe]-[Z/H] plane exist in other Milky Way-like galaxies is not yet known.

Resonant Effects of a Bar on the Galactic Disk Kinematics Perpendicular to Its Plane
Galaxies, 2023 Detailed analysis of kinematics of the Milky Way disk in the solar neighborhood based on the GAIA DR3 catalog reveals the existence of peculiarities in the stellar velocity distribution perpendicular to the galactic plane.

The Tilt of the Velocity Ellipsoid of Different Galactic Disk Populations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The tilt of the velocity ellipsoid is a helpful tracer of the gravitational potential of the Milky Way. In this paper, we use nearly 140,000 red clump (RC) stars selected from LAMOST and Gaia to make a detailed analysis of the tilt of the velocity ...

The Rapid Onset of Stellar Bars in the Baryon-dominated Centers of Disk Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Recent observations of high-redshift galactic disks ( z ≈ 1–3) show a strong negative trend in the dark-matter (DM) fraction f _DM with increasing baryon surface density.

Vertical Structure of the Milky Way Disk with Gaia DR3
Galaxies, 2023 Using a complete sample of about 330,000 dwarf stars, well measured by Gaia DR3, limited to the galactic north and south solid angles |b|700 pc and points to the presence of more stars beyond the thin disk that cannot be accounted for by the two-disk ...

All-sky Kinematics and Chemistry of Monoceros Stellar Overdensity
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We explore the kinematic and chemical properties of the Monoceros stellar overdensity by combining data from the Two Micron All Sky Survey, Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, APOGEE, and Gaia.

Modelling the chemical evolution of the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2021 In this review I will discuss the comparison between model results and observational data for the Milky Way, the predictive power of such models as well as their limits. Such a comparison, known as Galactic archaeology, allows us to impose constraints on stellar nucleosynthesis and timescales of formation of the various Galactic components (halo, bulge,

Disentangling Stellar Age Estimates from Galactic Chemodynamical Evolution
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Stellar ages are key for determining the formation history of the Milky Way, but are difficult to measure precisely. Furthermore, methods that use chemical abundances to infer ages may entangle the intrinsic evolution of stars with the chemodynamical ...

The Vertical Displacement of the Milky Way Disk [PDF]
Formation and Evolution of Galaxy Outskirts, Proceedings of the
International Astronomical Union, IAU Symposium, Volume 321, pp. 13-15, 2017, 2017 An oscillating vertical displacement of the Milky Way, with a wavelength of about 8 kpc and and amplitude of about 100 pc (increasing with distance from the Galactic center) is observed towards the Galactic anticenter. These oscillations are thought to be the result of disk perturbations from dwarf satellites of the Milky Way.

Universe, 2023 Eicheon properties are discussed. It is shown that the eicheon surface allows setting a boundary condition for the vacuum polarization and obtaining a solution describing the dark matter tail in the Milky Way Galaxy. That is, the dark matter in the Milky
