Dynamically constraining the length of the Milky way bar

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023
ABSTRACT We present a novel method for constraining the length of the Galactic bar using 6D phase-space information to directly integrate orbits. We define a pseudo-length for the Galactic bar, named RFreq, based on the maximal extent of trapped bar orbits.

A dynamically young and perturbed Milky Way disk [PDF]

Nature, 2018
The evolution of the Milky Way disk, which contains most of the stars in the Galaxy, is affected by several phenomena. For example, the bar and the spiral arms of the Milky Way induce radial migration of stars and can trap or scatter stars close to orbital resonances.

Chemical and Dynamical History of the Milky Way [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996
F-G dwarf stars of different metallicity are used as tracers of chemical and dynamical history of the Galaxy. Observed ratios of element abundances “[X/Fe] versus [Fe/H]” (where “X” is a some of chemical element) are compared with theoretical ones and allow us to make the choice between models (or parameters of theoretical models) of the Galaxy ...

On The Dynamics Of The Milky Way And Its Satellites In The Gaia Era

, 2018
We live in a new era in Astrophysics driven by the launch of the European satellite Gaia. Gaia is currently mapping our Galaxy by measuring distances and motions of one billion stars with exquisite accuracy and unprecedented detail. It is fair to say that the impact of this space mission on our understanding of galaxy evolution and dynamics will be ...

Dynamical Model of the Milky Way Using APOGEE and Gaia Data [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2021
Abstract We construct a dynamical model of the Milky Way disk from a data set that combines Gaia EDR3 and APOGEE data throughout galactocentric radii in the range 5.0 kpc ≤ R ≤ 19.5 kpc. We make use of the spherically aligned Jeans anisotropic method to model the stellar velocities and their velocity dispersions.

Stellar Bars in Isolated Gas-rich Spiral Galaxies Do Not Slow Down

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Elongated bar-like features are ubiquitous in galaxies, occurring at the centers of approximately two-thirds of spiral disks in the nearby Universe. Due to gravitational interactions between the bar and the other components of galaxies, it is expected ...

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.

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 ...

The Imprint of Clump Formation at High Redshift. II. The Chemistry of the Bulge

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In Paper I, we showed that clumps in high-redshift galaxies, having a high star formation rate density (Σ _SFR ), produce disks with two tracks in the [Fe/H]–[ α /Fe] chemical space, similar to that of the Milky Way’s (MW’s) thin+thick disks.
