Tracing Back a Second-generation Star Stripped from Terzan 5 by the Galactic Bar

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The Galactic bulge hosts the Milky Way’s oldest stars, possibly coming from disrupted globular clusters (GCs) or the bulge’s primordial building blocks, making these stars witnesses to the Galaxy’s early chemical enrichment.

In Pursuit of Galactic Archaeology

, 2019
The next decade affords tremendous opportunity to achieve the goals of Galactic archaeology. That is, to reconstruct the evolutionary narrative of the Milky Way, based on the empirical data that describes its current morphological, dynamical, temporal and chemical structures. Here, we describe the path to achieving this goal.

Where are the Population III Star Relics in the Simulated Milky Way Analogs?

The Astrophysical Journal
Using six Milky Way analogs with two different numerical resolutions from the Auriga simulation, we investigate the total mass, spatial distribution, and kinematics of the Population III (Pop III) star relics in the Milky Way analogs at z = 0.

How precisely can we measure the ages of subgiant and giant stars?

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
Precise stellar ages are fundamental to Galactic archaeology. However, obtaining reliable age estimates and uncertainties for field stars has been a long-standing challenge.
