The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We have for the first time identified the early stellar disk in the Milky Way by using a combination of elemental abundances and kinematics. Using data from APOGEE DR17 and Gaia we select stars in the Mg–Mn–Al–Fe plane with elemental abundances ...

Diffuse Ionized Gas in the Milky Way Disk [PDF]
, 2017 We analyze the diffuse ionized gas (DIG) in the first Galactic quadrant from l=18deg to 40deg using radio recombination line (RRL) data from the Green Bank Telescope. These data allow us to distinguish DIG emission from HII region emission and thus study

Chemodynamical Analysis of Metal-rich High-eccentricity Stars in the Milky Way's Disk
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a chemodynamical analysis of 11,562 metal-rich, high-eccentricity halo-like main-sequence stars, which have been referred to as the Splash or Splashed Disk, selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber ...

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 ...

Exploring the Perturbed Milky Way Disk and the Substructures of the Outer Disk [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Abstract The recent discovery of a spiral feature in the Z − V Z phase plane in the solar neighborhood implies that the galactic disk has been remarkably affected by a dwarf galaxy passing through it some hundreds of millions of years ago.

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.

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 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.

Cold Dark Matter Substructure and Galactic Disks I: Morphological Signatures of Hierarchical Satellite Accretion [PDF]
, 2007 (Abridged) We conduct a series of high-resolution, dissipationless N-body simulations to investigate the cumulative effect of substructure mergers onto thin disk galaxies in the context of the LCDM paradigm of structure formation. Our simulation campaign
