Is There a Disk of Satellites around the Milky Way? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 Abstract The “disk of satellites” (DoS) around the Milky Way is a highly debated topic with conflicting interpretations of observations and their theoretical models. We perform a comprehensive analysis of all of the dwarfs detected in the Milky Way and find that the DoS structure depends strongly on the plane identification method and ...

The Vertical Displacement of the Milky Way Disk [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2016 AbstractAn 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.

Unveiling a Young Thick Disk in the Milky Way
The Astrophysical Journal LettersAbstract The thickness of a galaxy’s disk provides a valuable probe of its formation and evolution history. Observations of the Milky Way and local galaxies have revealed an ubiquitous disk structure with two distinctive components: an old thick disk and a relatively young thin disk.

Disk Assembly of the Milky Way Suggested from the Time-resolved Chemical Abundance [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalBoth simulations and observations suggest that the disk assembly of galaxies is governed by the interplay between coplanar gas inflow, ex-planar gas outflow, and in situ star formation on the disk, known as the leaky accretion disk.

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989 A warped disk in our own galaxy is evident by means of HI, HII, γ-rays and dust observations, but unexistent when star distributions are considered, specially those of late type stars. This fact is in disagreement with the theories which assume a gravitational origin of warps, for instance a tidal interaction with the Magellanic Clouds.

Forward Modelling the Secular Evolution of the Milky Way Disk [PDF]
, 2021 We know precisely the position of the Sun in our Galaxy. Yet, like for most stars, we cannot tell where it was born. Stars undergo dynamical memory loss: their orbits evolve, because the Milky Way, like many galaxies, has non-axisymmetric structures ...

DETECTING THE MILKY WAY'S DARK DISK [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 In the standard model of disk galaxy formation, a dark matter disk forms as massive satellites are preferentially dragged into the disk plane and dissolve. Here, we show the importance of the dark disk for direct dark matter detection. The low velocity of the dark disk with respect to the Earth enhances detection rates at low recoil energy.
