Terraforming the Milky Way galaxy

, 2023
After terraforming the entire Milky Way galaxy, create habitats in two phases: 1.Create a habitat in the entire Solar System only for humans to live in. 2.Create a habitat in the remaining (terraformed) galaxy for all the non-human creatures resurrected on Earth and transport them using mega spaceships.

Metallicity Mapping of the Ionized Diffuse Gas at the Milky Way Disk–Halo Interface

The Astrophysical Journal
Metals in the diffuse, ionized gas at the boundary between the Milky Way’s interstellar medium (ISM) and circumgalactic medium, known as the disk–halo interface (DHI), are valuable tracers of the feedback processes that drive the Galactic fountain ...

Intergalactic Wandering Stars in the Local Universe: Theoretical Predictions for Their Distance and Luminosity Distribution

The Astrophysical Journal
Intergalactic wandering stars (IWSs) within 10 Mpc remain a poorly explored area of astronomy. Such stars, if they exist, are supposed to be wandering objects as they are not bound by the gravitational potential of any galaxy.

The Milky Way and other spiral galaxies

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Cosmologists have often considered the Milky Way as a typical spiral galaxy, and its properties have considerably influenced the current scheme of galaxy formation.

Rotation and mass in the Milky Way and spiral galaxies [PDF]

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 2016
Abstract Rotation curves are the basic tool for deriving the distribution of mass in spiral galaxies. In this review, we describe various methods to measure rotation curves in the Milky Way and spiral galaxies. We then describe two major methods to calculate the mass distribution using the rotation curve.

On the Corotation of Milky Way Satellites: LMC-mass Satellites Induce Apparent Motions in Outer Halo Tracers

The Astrophysical Journal
Understanding the physical mechanism behind the formation of a corotating thin plane of satellite galaxies, like the one observed around the Milky Way (MW), has been challenging.

The Milky Way’s Rowdy Neighbors: The Effects of the Large Magellanic Cloud and Sagittarius Dwarf on the Milky Way Disk

The Astrophysical Journal
The Milky Way (MW) is a barred spiral galaxy shaped by tidal interactions with its satellites. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy (Sgr) are the dominant influences at the present day. This paper presents a suite of four 10 ^

Predictions for the Detectability of Milky Way Satellite Galaxies and Outer-Halo Star Clusters with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
We predict the sensitivity of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to faint, resolved Milky Way satellite galaxies and outer-halo star clusters.

Gas Transfer between the Inner 3 kpc Disk and the Galactic Central Molecular Zone

The Astrophysical Journal
We uncovered a more tilted molecular gas structure with highly negative velocities located near the dust lane. Our observations show that the approaching gas flows from the overshoot process are captured by the gravitational potential of the bar and then

ON THE FORMATION OF THE DISK OF SATELLITES OF THE MILKY WAY: SIMULATION OF THE COLLISION OF TWO GALAXIES

Momento, 2014
At present there is some evidence showing that the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way might be distributed on a disc structure, known as the disc of satellites.
