INSIGHT INTO THE FORMATION OF THE MILKY WAY THROUGH COLD HALO SUBSTRUCTURE. I. THE ECHOS OF MILKY WAY FORMATION [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2009
We identify ten -- seven for the first time -- elements of cold halo substructure (ECHOS) in the volume within 17.5 kpc of the Sun in the inner halo of the Milky Way.

The Formation of the Milky Way in the Cosmological Context [PDF]

, 2001
The formation of the Milky Way is discussed within the context of the cold dark matter scenario. Several problems arise which can be solved if the Galaxy experienced an early phase of gas heating and decoupling from the dark matter substructure.

Constraining the formation of the Milky Way: Ages [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
We present a new approach for studying the chemodynamical evolution of the Milky Way, which combines a thin disk chemical evolution model with the dynamics from N-body simulation of a galaxy with properties similar to those of our Galaxy.

Star Formation in the Milky Way and Nearby Galaxies

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012
We review progress over the past decade in observations of large-scale star formation, with a focus on the interface between extragalactic and Galactic studies.

The Rapid Formation of the Metal-poor Milky Way

The Astrophysical Journal
Our understanding of the assembly timeline of the Milky Way has been transforming along with the dramatic increase in astrometric and spectroscopic data available over the past several years.

Star Formation in the Milky Way. The Infrared View [PDF]

, 2013
I present a brief review of some of the most recent and active topics of star formation process in the Milky Way using mid and far infrared observations, and motivated by the research being carried out by our science group using data gathered by the ...

Abundance Gradients and the Formation of the Milky Way [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2001
In this paper we adopt a chemical evolution model, which is an improved version of the Chiappini, Matteucci and Gratton (1997) model, assuming two main accretion episodes for the formation of the Galaxy.

The formation of the Galactic bulge of the Milky Way [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
We aim to determine if the bulge formed via mergers as predicted by Cold Dark Matter (CDM) theory, or from disk instabilities, as suggested by its boxy shape, or both processes. We are observing about 28,000 bulge stars in fields that span longitudes of −

Molecular gas and star formation in the Milky Way [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
The dense molecular gas is the ideal tracer of the spiral structure in the Milky Way, and should be used intensively to solve the puzzle of its structure. In spite of our position inside the plane, we can hope to disentangle the structures, with position-

Kinematic-chemical Analysis and Time Tagging for the Diagonal Ridge Structure of the Galactic Outer Disk with LAMOST Red-giant Branch Stars

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We investigate the kinematic-chemical distribution of red-giant branch stars from the LAMOST survey crossed matched with Gaia DR2 proper motions, and present time tagging for the well-known ridge structures (diagonal distributions for V _R in the R , V ...
