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 ...

A Severe Challenge to the Modified Newtonian Dynamics Phenomenology in Our Galaxy
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is one of the most popular alternative theories of dark matter to explain the missing mass problem in galaxies. Although it remains controversial regarding MOND as a fundamental theory, MOND phenomenology has been shown

The X-shaped Bulge of the Milky Way revealed by WISE [PDF]
, 2016 The Milky Way bulge has a boxy/peanut morphology and an X-shaped structure. This X-shape has been revealed by the `split in the red clump' from star counts along the line of sight toward the bulge, measured from photometric surveys. This boxy, X-shaped bulge morphology is not unique to the Milky Way and such bulges are observed in other barred spiral ...

Reflex motion in the Milky Way stellar halo resulting from the Large Magellanic Cloud infall [PDF]
, 2020 We present the results of N-body models of the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud system and study the kinematic reflex motion in the stellar halo owing to the barycentre displacement of the disc. In agreement with previous studies, we find that the Milky Way disc may be moving at 40 km/s relative to the barycentre prior to the Large Magellanic Cloud

On the Interpretation of the l-v Features in the Milky Way Galaxy [PDF]
, 2000 We model the gas dynamics of barred galaxies using a three-dimensional, high-resolution, $N$-body+hydrodynamical simulation and apply it to the Milky Way in an attempt to reproduce both the large-scale structure and the clumpy morphology observed in ...

Finding r-II Sibling Stars in the Milky Way with the Greedy Optimistic Clustering Algorithm
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 R -process enhanced stars with [Eu/Fe] ≥ +0.7 (so-called r -II stars) are believed to have formed in an extremely neutron-rich environment in which a rare astrophysical event (e.g., a neutron-star merger) occurred.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) will induce a dynamical friction (DF) wake on infall to the Milky Way (MW). The MW’s stellar halo will respond to the gravity of the LMC and the dark matter (DM) wake, forming a stellar counterpart to the DM wake.

Dynamical Modeling of the Milky Way Bugle [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2013 AbstractBulges are commonly believed to form in the dynamical violence of galaxy collisions and mergers. We model the stellar kinematics of the Bulge Radial Velocity Assay (BRAVA) and find no sign that the Milky Way contains a classical bulge formed by scrambling pre-existing disks of stars in major mergers.

Chemodynamics of the Milky Way and disc formation history: insight from the RAVE and Gaia-ESO surveys [PDF]
, 2016 Multi-object spectrographs have opened a new window on the analyses of the chemo-dynamical properties of old Milky Way stars. These analyses allow us to trace back the internal mechanisms and the external factors that have influenced the evolution of our Galaxy, and therefore understand fundamental aspects of galaxy evolution in general.

The Three-phase Evolution of the Milky Way
The Astrophysical JournalWe illustrate the formation and evolution of the Milky Way over cosmic time, utilizing a sample of 10 million red giant stars with full chemodynamical information, including metallicities and α -abundances from low-resolution Gaia XP spectra.
