Dense gas and star formation in the outer Milky Way

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2023
We present maps and spectra of the HCN(1−0) and HCO+(1−0) lines in the extreme outer Galaxy, at galactocentric radii between 14 and 22 kpc, with the 13.7 m Delingha telescope. The nine molecular clouds were selected from a CO/13CO survey of the outer quadrants.

The Formation and Early Evolution of the Milky Way Galaxy

Science, 2000
Recent observations indicate that the Milky Way may have formed by aggregation of gas and stars from a reservoir of preexisting small galaxies in the local universe. The process probably began more than 12 billion years ago with material of different original angular momentum following two separate evolutionary lines, one into the slowly rotating halo ...

Formation and Evolution of the Milky Way

2003
The problem of understanding the formation of the Galaxy is part of the problem of explaining galaxy formation in general. In particular, we should try to understand the relative importance of mergers and dissipative collapse in the formation of all galaxies, and whether the observational information about our Galaxy is enough to explain the timescales

Leaving the milky way! The formation of a consumer counter mythology

Journal of Consumer Culture, 2011
In this article we present the emergence of a consumer community resisting a national mythology that milk is a central constituent of a healthy life style. This unfolds in a contemporary consumptionscape in which the consumer body and health is the subject of a number of moralisms and counter moralisms.

Understanding the formation of the Milky Way in the era of Gaia

EAS Publications Series, 2014
The main goal of Galactic Archaeology is to understand the formation and evolution of the basic Galactic components. This requires sophisticated chemo-dynamical modeling, where disk asymmetries ( e.g. , perturbations from the bar, spirals, and mergers) and non-equilibrium processes are taken into account self-consistently.

Abundance Gradients as a tool for understanding the Formation of the Milky Way

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2002
According to the two-infall model for the chemical evolution of the Galaxy (Chiappini et al., 2001) the halo and bulge formed on a relatively short timescale (0.8–1.0 Gyr) out of the first infall episode, whereas the disk accumulated much more slowly and ‘inside-out’ during a second independent infall episode.

Abundance Ratios and the Formation of the Milky Way

2006
Although the data for the Milky Way are not yet conclusive about the existence of a N/O abundance gradient along the Galactic disk, such a gradient is clearly seen in other spiral galaxies [7]. In this work we computed the abundance gradient of N/O for the MW. In our formalist the MW formed out of two-infall episodes, one forming the halo/thick disk on
