AZIMUTHAL METALLICITY STRUCTURE IN THE MILKY WAY DISK [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 Elemental abundance patterns in the Galactic disk constrain theories of the formation and evolution of the Milky Way. HII region abundances are the result of billions of years of chemical evolution. We made radio recombination line and continuum measurements of 21 HII regions located between Galactic azimuth Az = 90-130 degree, a previously unexplored ...

The Milky Way has no thick disk [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 Different stellar sub-populations of the Milky Way's stellar disk are known to have different vertical scale heights, their thickness increasing with age. Using SEGUE spectroscopic survey data, we have recently shown that mono-abundance sub-populations, defined in the [ /Fe]-[Fe/H] space, are well described by single exponential spatial-density ...

Milky Way's thick and thin disk: Is there a distinct thick disk? [PDF]
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2016 AbstractThis article is based on our discussion session on Milky Way models at the 592 WE‐Heraeus Seminar, Reconstructing the Milky Way's History: Spectroscopic Surveys, Asteroseismology and Chemodynamical Models. The discussion focused on the following question: “Are there distinct thick and thin disks?”.

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 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.

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.

Are disk galaxies the progenitors of giant ellipticals? [PDF]
, 2007 A popular formation scenario for giant elliptical galaxies proposes that they might have formed from binary mergers of disk galaxies. Difficulties with the scenario that emerged from earlier studies included providing the necessary stellar mass and ...

ACTION-BASED DYNAMICAL MODELING FOR THE MILKY WAY DISK [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT We present RoadMapping, a full-likelihood dynamical modeling machinery that aims to recover the Milky Way’s (MW) gravitational potential from large samples of stars in the Galactic disk. RoadMapping models the observed positions and velocities of stars with a parameterized, three-integral distribution function (DF) in a ...
