A Computer Vision Milky Way Compass
The Milky Way is used by nocturnal flying and walking insects for maintaining heading while navigating. In this study, we have explored the feasibility of the method for machine vision systems on autonomous vehicles by measuring the visual features and ...

We present a new estimate of the mass of the Milky Way based on the escape velocity of a sample of distant stars, about 12 kpc from the Galactic centre and about 5 kpc from the plane of the Galaxy. Our sample is very different from previous escape-velocity studies, being compiled from an all-object spectroscopic survey of a region of sky.

Short-lived Radionuclides in the Milky Way Galaxy [PDF]
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 ...

Direct photometric evidence has established that the central bulge of our Galaxy (the Milky Way) is actually a stellar bar. The dynamics of the bar will drive material into the Galaxy's centre but recent X-ray observations suggest that much of the inflowing gas is driven out again in a high-pressure galactic wind.

The Baryons in the Milky Way Satellites [PDF]
We investigate the formation and evolution of satellite galaxies using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of a Milky Way(MW)-like system, focussing on the best resolved examples, analogous to the classical MW satellites. Comparing with a pure dark matter simulation, we find that the condensation of baryons has had a relatively minor ...

Low-frequency Radio Recombination Lines Away from the Inner Galactic Plane
Diffuse radio recombination lines (RRLs) in the Galaxy are possible foregrounds for redshifted 21 cm experiments. We use EDGES drift scans centered at −26.°7 decl. to characterize diffuse RRLs across the southern sky.
