The Birth, Death, and Rebirth of the Milky Way Galaxy
, 2012 Kautsch’s talk will discuss the formation and evolution of the Milky Way system, which was born from a collapsing gas reservoir embedded in a dark matter halo. After its birth, the galaxy evolved and interacted with other 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.

Understanding the Nature of Dark Matter Halos and Galaxy Formation Through the Lens of the Milky Way
, 2022 The Universe is full of a zoo of galaxies that serve as beacons tracing the underlying structure of dark matter in the Universe. Galaxies exhibit a diverse array of structural properties and observed brightnesses, all of which provide clues to their ...

Revealing Gas Inflows Toward the Galactic Central Molecular Zone
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe study the gas inflows toward the Galactic Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) based on the gas morphological and kinematic features from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting in the region of l = 1.°2–19.°0 and ∣ b ∣ ≲ 3.°0.

Modeling the Accretion of High-velocity Clouds from a Rotating Halo
The Astrophysical JournalHigh-velocity clouds (HVCs) are a major fuel reservoir for star formation in the Galactic disk. Determining their origin and kinematics is thus crucial for understanding Galactic evolution.

The disk rotation of the Milky Way Galaxy
, 1999 The rotation of the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy is analyzed. It rotates neither as a solid disk, nor in accordance with individual keplerian orbits. Rather the disk executes a form of differential rotation which suggests that a considerable fraction of ...

ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF THE ABUNDANCE GRADIENT ALONG THE MILKY WAY DISK
, 2009 Based on a simple model of the chemical evolution of the Milky Way disk, we investigate the disk oxygen abundance gradient and its time evolution. Two star formation rates (SFRs) are considered, one is the classical Kennicutt-Schmidt law (Psi = 0.25 ...
