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.

Measuring magnetism in the Milky Way with the Square Kilometre Array [PDF]
, 2015 Magnetic fields in the Milky Way are present on a wide variety of sizes and strengths, influencing many processes in the Galactic ecosystem such as star formation, gas dynamics, jets, and evolution of supernova remnants or pulsar wind nebulae ...

The Local Stellar Halo is Not Dominated by a Single Radial Merger Event
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 We use halo dwarf stars with photometrically determined metallicities that are located within 2 kpc of the Sun to identify local halo substructure. The kinematic properties of these stars do not indicate a single, dominant radial merger event (RME).

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.

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.

On the Origin of Dynamically Cold Rings around the Milky Way [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 We present a scenario for the production of dynamically cold rings around the Milky Way via a high-eccentricity, flyby encounter. These initial conditions are more cosmologically motivated than those considered in previous works. We find that the encounters we examine generically produce a series of nearly dynamically cold ring-like features on low ...

Stellar streams as gravitational experiments I. The case of Sagittarius [PDF]
, 2017 Tidal streams of disrupting dwarf galaxies orbiting around their host galaxy offer a unique way to constrain the shape of galactic gravitational potentials. Such streams can be used as leaning tower gravitational experiments on galactic scales.
