Black holes in the milky way galaxy. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1999 Extremely strong observational evidence has recently been found for the presence of black holes orbiting a few relatively normal stars in our Milky Way Galaxy and also at the centers of some galaxies. The former generally have masses of 4–16 times the mass of the sun, whereas the latter are “supermassive black holes” with millions to billions of ...

Panspermia in a Milky Way–like Galaxy
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract We study the process of panspermia in Milky Way–like galaxies by modeling the probability of successful travel of organic compounds between stars harboring potentially habitable planets. To this end, we apply the modified habitability recipe of Gobat & Hong to a model galaxy from the McMaster Unbiased Galaxy Simulations ...

Short-lived Radionuclides in the Milky Way Galaxy [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2023 The short-lived radionuclides (SLRs) have a half-life ≤ 100 Myr. The γ-ray observations and excess abundance of their daughter nuclides in various meteoritic phases confirm the existence of SLRs in the Galaxy and early solar system (ESS), respectively ...

COSMOLOGICAL SIMULATIONS OF MILKY WAY-SIZED GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT We introduce a new set of eight Milky Way-sized cosmological simulations performed using the AMR code Adaptive Refinement Tree + Hydrodynamics in a ΛCDM cosmology. The set of zoom-in simulations covers present-day virial masses that range from to

Dust formation in Milky Way-like galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016 We introduce a dust model for cosmological simulations implemented in the moving-mesh code AREPO and present a suite of cosmological hydrodynamical zoom-in simulations to study dust formation within galactic haloes. Our model accounts for the stellar production of dust, accretion of gas-phase metals onto existing grains, destruction of dust through ...

Stellar Bars in Isolated Gas-rich Spiral Galaxies Do Not Slow Down
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Elongated bar-like features are ubiquitous in galaxies, occurring at the centers of approximately two-thirds of spiral disks in the nearby Universe. Due to gravitational interactions between the bar and the other components of galaxies, it is expected ...

Terraforming the Milky Way galaxy
, 2023 After terraforming the entire Milky Way galaxy, create habitats in two phases: 1.Create a habitat in the entire Solar System only for humans to live in. 2.Create a habitat in the remaining (terraformed) galaxy for all the non-human creatures resurrected on Earth and transport them using mega spaceships.

The Age-dependent Vertical Actions of Young Stars in the Galaxy
The Astrophysical JournalStars in the Galactic disk are born on cold, nearly circular orbits with small vertical excursions. After their birth, their orbits evolve, driven by small- or large-scale perturbations in the Galactic disk’s gravitational potential.

Overview of the DESI Milky Way Survey
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We describe the Milky Way Survey (MWS) that will be undertaken with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) on the Mayall 4 m telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory.
