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

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesThe 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

Linnutee [PDF]

open access: yesMäetagused, 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.

Revealing Gas Inflows Toward the Galactic Central Molecular Zone

open access: yesThe 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.

A Wave-corrected Assessment of the Local Midplane

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
As 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

The Structure, Populations, and Kinematics of the Milky Way Central and Inner Bulge with OGLE, APOGEE, and Gaia Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We 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

Are dSph galaxies Galactic building blocks?

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph) are frequently assumed to represent surviving examples of a vast now destroyed population of small systems in which many of the stars now forming the Milky Way were formed. Ongoing accretion and considerable sub-structure
