What Is Missing from the Local Stellar Halo?
The Astrophysical JournalThe Milky Way’s stellar halo, which extends to >100 kpc, encodes the evolutionary history of our Galaxy. However, most studies of the halo to date have been limited to within a few kiloparsecs of the Sun.

Identifying Local Group Field Galaxies which have interacted with the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2012 We distinguish between Local Group field galaxies which may have passed through the virial volume of the Milky Way, and those which have not, via a statistical compari- son against populations of dark matter haloes in the Via Lactea II (VLII) simulation with known orbital histories.

JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters—V. The White Dwarfs Cooling Sequence of M4
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 2, February 2025.ABSTRACT We combine infrared (IR) observations collected by the James Webb Space Telescope with optical deep images by the Hubble Space Telescope taken ~20 years earlier to compute proper‐motion membership for the globular cluster (GC) M4 (NGC 6121) along its entire white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS).

The Milky Way is just an average spiral [PDF]
arXiv, 1997 It has been thought for many years that the Milky Way is an overly large spiral galaxy. Using Cephied distances to 17 spiral galaxies we calculate the true linear diameters of those galaxies. These diameters are then compared to that of the Milky Way which is found to be, at most, an averagely sized spiral galaxy.

The origin of the Milky Way globular clusters [PDF]
, 2016 We present a cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy used to explore the formation and evolution of star clusters. We investigate in particular the origin of the bimodality observed in the colour and metallicity of globular clusters, and the environmental evolution through cosmic times in the form of tidal tensors.

Beyond Accretion Limits: The Rise of Pulsating Gems
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT The discovery of several ultraluminous X‐ray sources exhibiting fast and rapidly evolving X‐ray pulsations unequivocally associates these sources with accreting neutron stars orbiting relatively massive companion stars (> 8M ⊙$$ {}_{\odot } $$).

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We use two zoom-in ΛCDM hydrodynamical simulations of massive disk galaxies to study the possible existence of fixed satellite groups showing a kinematically coherent behavior across evolution (angular momentum conservation and clustering).

Journal of Cellular Physiology, Volume 240, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Neurons are exceptionally sensitive to oxidative stress, which is the basis for many neurodegenerative disease pathophysiologies. The posttranscriptional basis for neuronal differentiation and behavior is not well characterized. The steady‐state levels of mRNA are outcomes of an interplay between RNA transcription and decay.

Candidate Members of the VMP/EMP Disk System of the Galaxy from the SkyMapper and SAGES Surveys
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesPhotometric stellar surveys now cover a large fraction of the sky, probe to fainter magnitudes than large-scale spectroscopic surveys, and are relatively free from the target selection biases often associated with such studies.

Streams on FIRE: Populations of Detectable Stellar Streams in the Milky Way and FIRE
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the first detailed comparison of populations of dwarf galaxy stellar streams in cosmological simulations and the Milky Way. In particular, we compare streams identified around 13 Milky Way analogs in the FIRE-2 simulations to streams observed ...
