The formation of the Milky Way halo and its dwarf satellites; a NLTE-1D abundance analysis [PDF]
, 2017 We present a homogeneous set of accurate atmospheric parameters for a complete sample of very and extremely metal-poor stars in the dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) Sculptor, Ursa Minor, Sextans, Fornax, Botes I, Ursa Major II, and Leo IV.

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 −

Bar Formation in Milky Way type Galaxies
Open Astronomy, 2016 Many barred galaxies, possibly including the Milky Way, have cusps in their centers. There is a widespread belief, however, that the usual bar instability, which occurs in bulgeless galaxy models, is impossible for cuspy models because of the presence of

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.

Testing Feedback from Star Clusters in Simulations of the Milky Way Formation [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 We present a suite of galaxy formation simulations that directly model star cluster formation and disruption. Starting from a model previously developed by our group, here we introduce several improvements to the prescriptions for cluster formation and

Gas and Star Formation in Satellites of Milky Way Analogs
The Astrophysical JournalWe have imaged the entirety of eight (plus one partial) Milky Way (MW)–like satellite systems, a total of 42 (45) satellites, from the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs II catalog in both H α and H i with the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope and the ...

Galactic Archaeology: Tracing the Milky Way’s Formation and Evolution through Stellar Populations [PDF]
Journal of Electrical Electronics Engineering, 2023 Galactic archaeology represents a multidisciplinary approach aimed at unraveling the intricate history of the Milky Way galaxy through the study of its stellar populations.

A time-resolved picture of our Milky Way’s early formation history [PDF]
Nature, 2022 The formation of our Milky Way can be split up qualitatively into different phases that resulted in its structurally different stellar populations: the halo and the disk components1–3.

Rapid disc settling and the transition from bursty to steady star formation in Milky Way-mass galaxies [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 Recent observations and simulations indicate substantial evolution in the properties of galaxies with time, wherein rotationally-supported and steady thin discs (like those frequently observed in the local universe) emerge from galaxies that are clumpy,

Slow Star Formation in the Milky Way: Theory Meets Observations [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 The observed star formation rate of the Milky Way can be explained by applying a metallicity-dependent factor to convert CO luminosity to molecular gas mass and a star formation efficiency per freefall time that depends on the virial parameter of a ...
