Distant Echoes of the Milky Way’s Last Major Merger
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The majority of the Milky Way’s stellar halo consists of debris from our galaxy’s last major merger, the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE). In the past few years, stars from the GSE have been kinematically and chemically studied in the inner 30 kpc of our ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We have for the first time identified the early stellar disk in the Milky Way by using a combination of elemental abundances and kinematics. Using data from APOGEE DR17 and Gaia we select stars in the Mg–Mn–Al–Fe plane with elemental abundances ...

The Mass of the Milky Way Galaxy [PDF]
, 2023 On the Basis of tabular values of the gravitational constant. The calculated mass of the nucleus of the milky way galaxy. The numerical value of the gravitational constant is determined by the mass of the nucleus of the milky way galaxy.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We introduce a two-particle correlation function (2PCF) for the Milky Way, constructed to probe spatial correlations in the orthogonal directions of the stellar disk in the Galactic cylindrical coordinates of R , ϕ , and z . We use this new tool to probe

Chemodynamical Analysis of Metal-rich High-eccentricity Stars in the Milky Way's Disk
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a chemodynamical analysis of 11,562 metal-rich, high-eccentricity halo-like main-sequence stars, which have been referred to as the Splash or Splashed Disk, selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber ...

Modelling the Milky Way as a dry Galaxy [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 We construct a model for the Milky Way Galaxy composed of a stellar disc and bulge embedded in a dark-matter halo. All components are modelled as $N$-body systems with up to 8 billion equal-mass particles and integrated up to an age of 10\,Gyr. We find that net angular-momentum of the dark-matter halo with a spin parameter of $λ=0.06$ is required to ...

STEALTH GALAXIES IN THE HALO OF THE MILKY WAY [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 We predict that there is a population of low-luminosity dwarf galaxies orbiting within the halo of the Milky Way that have surface brightnesses low enough to have escaped detection in star-count surveys. The overall count of stealth galaxies is sensitive to the presence (or lack) of a low-mass threshold in galaxy formation.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We continue our series of papers on phase-space distributions of stars in the Milky Way based on photometrically derived metallicities and Gaia astrometry, with a focus on the halo−disk interface in the local volume.

The Milky Way - Our Home in the Universe
, 2018 Aakasha Ganga, Via Lactea or the Milky Way is our home in the Universe. The discovery of the telescope by Galileo Galilei had facilitated the sky watchers to notice a variety of geometrical forms in the sky.
