Disk Heating, Galactoseismology, and the Formation of Stellar Halos

Galaxies, 2017
Deep photometric surveys of the Milky Way have revealed diffuse structures encircling our Galaxy far beyond the “classical” limits of the stellar disk. This paper reviews results from our own and other observational programs, which together suggest that,

Disk Assembly of the Milky Way Suggested from the Time-resolved Chemical Abundance

The Astrophysical Journal
Both simulations and observations suggest that the disk assembly of galaxies is governed by the interplay between coplanar gas inflow, ex-planar gas outflow, and in situ star formation on the disk, known as the leaky accretion disk.

ALMAGAL. VII. Cataloging Hierarchical Continuum Structure from Cores to Clumps across the Galactic Disk

The Astrophysical Journal
Investigating the multiscale fragmentation of dense clumps into compact cores is essential for understanding the processes that govern the initial distribution of mass in stellar clusters and how high-mass stars (>8 M _⊙ ) form.

The APO-K2 Catalog. II. Accurate Stellar Ages for Red Giant Branch Stars across the Milky Way

The Astronomical Journal
We present stellar age determinations for 4661 red giant branch stars in the APO-K2 catalog, derived using mass estimates from K2 asteroseismology from the K2 Galactic Archaeology Program and elemental abundances from the Apache Point Galactic Evolution ...

Star formation in the central 0.5 pc of the Milky Way

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2008
The supermassive black hole candidate at the Galactic Center is surrounded by a parsec-scale star cluster, which contains a number of early type stars. The presence of such stars has been called a "paradox of youth" as star formation in the immediate vicinity of a supermassive black hole seemed difficult, as well as the transport of stars from far out ...

Masses, luminosities and dynamics of galactic molecular clouds [PDF]

Star formation in galaxies takes place in molecular clouds and the Milky Way is the only galaxy in which it is possible to resolve and study the physical properties and star formation activity of individual clouds. The masses, luminosities, dynamics, and

Molecular Gas Morphological Analogs for the Milky Way

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Complete catalogs of molecular clouds in the Milky Way allow analysis of the molecular medium and the star formation properties of the Milky Way that closely follows the method used for nearby galaxies.
