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

A Precise Milky Way

, 2018
The Milky Way Galaxy in which we live seems to be a normal spiral galaxy. But it can be hard to tell. Our perspective from within it precludes a "face-on" view like the picture above, which combines some real data with a lot of artistic liberty.

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.

Divergent Evolution of Radial Metallicity Gradients in the Thin and Thick Disks of the Milky Way

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Using 200,388 red clump stars from LAMOST and APOGEE, we investigate the radial metallicity gradients of the Galactic disk as a function of vertical height and stellar age. The thin disk displays a pronounced negative radial metallicity gradient near the

Discovery of a nearby spiral galaxy behind the Milky Way

, 1994
THE disk of the Milky Way contains a lot of gas and dust, which obscures about 20% of the extragalactic sky. Galaxies hidden behind the Milky Way may have an important influence on the dynamics of the Local Group and its peculiar motion relative to the ...

Revealing Gas Inflows Toward the Galactic Central Molecular Zone

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We 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 Journal
High-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.

Magnesium isotope ratios in Milky Way and dwarf galaxy stars [PDF]

Under the assumption of hierarchical galaxy formation, dwarf galaxies are the closest existing analogues to the high-redshift protogalaxies that merged to form the Milky Way.
