The Galactic Bulge: A Review

, 2007
The Milky Way is the only galaxy for which we can resolve individual stars at all evolutionary phases, from the Galactic center to the outskirt. The last decade, thanks to the advent of near IR detectors and 8 meter class telescopes, has seen a great ...

A low pre-infall mass for the Carina dwarf galaxy from disequilibrium modelling [PDF]

, 2015
Dark matter only simulations of galaxy formation predict many more subhalos around a Milky Way like galaxy than the number of observed satellites. Proposed solutions require the satellites to inhabit dark matter halos with masses between one to ten ...

In Pursuit of the Least Luminous Galaxies [PDF]

, 2009
The dwarf galaxy companions to the Milky Way are unique cosmological laboratories. With luminosities as low as 10^-7 L_MW, they inhabit the lowest mass dark matter halos known to host stars and are presently the most direct tracers of the distribution ...

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 ...

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.

The Age-dependent Vertical Actions of Young Stars in the Galaxy

The Astrophysical Journal
Stars 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.

The Imprint of Clump Formation at High Redshift. II. The Chemistry of the Bulge

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In Paper I, we showed that clumps in high-redshift galaxies, having a high star formation rate density (Σ _SFR ), produce disks with two tracks in the [Fe/H]–[ α /Fe] chemical space, similar to that of the Milky Way’s (MW’s) thin+thick disks.

New Arabic Records From Cairo on Supernovae 1181 and 1006

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The remnant of the historical supernova SN 1181 is under discussion: While the previously suggested G130.7+3.1 (3C58) appears too old (3000–5000 year), the unusual star IRAS00500+6713 with a surrounding nebula (Pa‐30) has an expansion age not inconsistent with a SN Iax explosion in ad 1181 under the assumption that neither acceleration nor ...

JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters—VI. The Lowest‐Mass Objects in M 4 and the Galactic Bulge

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present James Webb Space Telescope observations of M 4—the closest globular cluster—that probe the lower Main Sequence down to the hydrogen‐burning limit. The unveiled stellar sequence reaches much fainter luminosities than previously possible, revealing a few extremely red objects that are consistent with brown dwarfs as cool as Teff∼1000K$

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
