The Imprint of Clump Formation at High Redshift. II. The Chemistry of the Bulge
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In Paper I, we showed that clumps in high-redshift galaxies, having a high star formation rate density (Σ _SFR ), produce disks with two tracks in the [Fe/H]–[ α /Fe] chemical space, similar to that of the Milky Way’s (MW’s) thin+thick disks.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Orbital characteristics based on Gaia Early Data Release 3 astrometric parameters are analyzed for ∼1700 r -process-enhanced (RPE; [Eu/Fe] > +0.3) metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] ≤ −0.8) compiled from the R -Process Alliance, the GALactic Archaeology with ...

Clues to the formation of the Milky Way’s thick disk [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2015 We analyse the chemical properties of a set of solar vicinity stars, and show that the small dispersion in abundances of α-elements at all ages provides evidence that the SFH has been uniform throughout the thick disk. In the context of long time scale infall models, we suggest that this result points either to a limited dependence of the gas accretion

Distant Echoes of the Milky Way’s Last Major Merger
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The majority of the Milky Way’s stellar halo consists of debris from our galaxy’s last major merger, the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE). In the past few years, stars from the GSE have been kinematically and chemically studied in the inner 30 kpc of our ...

The connection between the host halo and the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2016 Many properties of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, including its mass assembly history, concentration, and subhalo population, remain poorly constrained.

The formation and early evolution of the Milky Way [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1985 In broad outline, the traditional picture for the formation of the Milky Way can be summarized as follows. The proto-galaxy consisted of a slowly rotating cloud of metal-free gas that cooled by bremsstrahlung and recombination radiation. As the internal pressure of the gas decreased, it collapsed in stages with smaller dimensions, faster rotation ...

Dust formation in Milky Way-like galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016 We introduce a dust model for cosmological simulations implemented in the moving-mesh code AREPO and present a suite of cosmological hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations to study dust formation within galactic haloes. Our model accounts for the stellar production of dust, accretion of gas-phase metals onto existing grains, destruction of dust through ...

Formation and Evolution of the Milky Way [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997 To paint with broad brush strokes, the spectrum of Galactic formation models has as extrema what may be termed the “fast and smooth” and the “slow and lumpy” scenarios. Appropriate or not, to ascribe as champions of these views the works of, respectively, Eggen et al.

GTC Follow-up Observations of Very Metal-poor Star Candidates from DESI
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The observations from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will significantly increase the numbers of known extremely metal-poor stars by a factor of ∼10, improving the sample statistics to study the early chemical evolution of the Milky Way ...
