The Astrophysical JournalThe 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 ^

The Astrophysical JournalThe Milky Way (MW) is thought to have experienced a ∼3:1 mass-ratio merger event near redshift z ∼ 2 with a significantly retrograde trajectory. This now-disrupted dwarf galaxy is commonly known as the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE).

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

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 ...
