Gas Dynamics in the Milky Way: Second Pattern Speed and Large-Scale Morphology [PDF]
, 2002 We present new gas flow models for the Milky Way inside the solar circle. To this end we use SPH simulations in gravitational potentials determined from the NIR luminosity distribution (including spiral arms) which are based on the COBE/DIRBE maps.

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.

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.

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.

Chemistry of the Most Metal-poor Stars in the Bulge and the z > 10 Universe [PDF]
, 2014 Metal-poor stars in the Milky Way are local relics of the epoch of the first stars and the first galaxies. However, a low metallicity does not prove that a star formed in this ancient era, as metal-poor stars form over a range of redshift in different ...

Dynamical Models for the Milky Way
, 1996 The only way to map the Galaxy's gravitational potential $Φ({\bf x})$ and the distribution of matter that produces it is by modelling the dynamics of stars and gas. Observations of the kinematics of gas provide key information about gradients of $Φ$ within the plane, but little information about the structure of $Φ$ out of the plane. Traditional Galaxy

Locally Cold Flows from Large-Scale Structure
, 2011 We show that the "cold" Hubble flow observed for galaxies around the Milky Way does not represent a problem in cosmology but is due to the particular geometry and dynamics of our local wall.

Dynamical stability and evolution of the discs of Sc galaxies [PDF]
, 1997 We examine the local stability of galactic discs against axisymmetric density perturbations with special attention to the different dynamics of the stellar and gaseous components. In particular the discs of the Milky Way and of NGC 6946 are studied.

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).
