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.

Mäetagused, 2002 Astronomically, the Milky Way is a big star system _ a galaxy. The word galaxy is derived from the Greek gala `milk'. In many languages the Milky Way's name is connected with milk. However, in Estonia this form of the name is rare.

The size of the Milky Way galaxy
The size of a galaxy is one of the fundamental parameters that reflects its growth and assembly history. Traditionally, the size of the Milky Way has been characterized by the scale length of the disk, based on the assumption of an exponential density profile. Earlier scale length measurements suggest the Milky Way is an overly compact galaxy, compared

The Astrophysical JournalWe present an analysis of the structure, kinematics, and chemo-dynamical properties of the Milky Way bulge using RR Lyrae stars from Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE), and giant stars from APOGEE and Gaia that have distances placing them in

A Wave-corrected Assessment of the Local Midplane
The Astrophysical JournalAs the number of known Galactic structures mounts thanks to the Gaia Space Telescope, it is now pertinent to study methods for disentangling structures occupying the same regions of the Milky Way. Indeed, understanding the precise form of each individual

Differential Accretion of Ionized Low-velocity Gas at the Milky Way’s Disk–Halo Interface
The Astrophysical JournalWe measure line-of-sight velocities of metal absorption and H I emission along 132 QSO sight lines in order to study gas accretion and outflow at the disk–halo interface of the Milky Way.

Non-association of a celestial gamma ray source with the new Milky Way satellite galaxy [PDF]
The newly discovered satellite galaxy located in the Milky Way galactic anti-center region is discussed along with the possibility that a nearby gamma ray source is associated with it.
