Revisiting mass estimates of the Milky Way
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2023We use the rotation curve from Gaia data release (DR) 3 to estimate the mass of the Milky Way. We consider an Einasto density profile to model the dark matter component. We extrapolate and obtain a dynamical mass at 112 kpc.

The article focuses on the development of a map of the Milky Way galaxy from the European Space Agency's Gaia spacecraft. It states the dataset provides a preliminary position of one billion stars and the sideways motions and distances of the brightest two million stars in the sky.

No massive black holes in the Milky Way halo
NatureThe gravitational wave detectors have shown a population of massive black holes that do not resemble those observed in the Milky Way1–3 and whose origin is debated4–6.

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.

Detection of large-scale X-ray bubbles in the Milky Way halo
Nature, 2020The halo of the Milky Way provides a laboratory to study the properties of the shocked hot gas that is predicted by models of galaxy formation. There is observational evidence of energy injection into the halo from past activity in the nucleus of the ...

As mentioned earlier, all of the stars we see unaided, or even with binoculars or small telescopes, belong to our Galaxy, usually known as The Milky Way. It is made up of one hundred thousand million (100,000,000,000) stars, some grouped together in clusters, and interstellar matter, dust and gas.

WRITERS on astronomical subjects find it comparatively easy to give a popular or semi-popular description of such a parochial affair as the solar system, but not so easy to provide a similar description of the Galaxy. The book under notice is undoubtedly the best of the semi-popular type that has been produced on this subject, and it presents the ...

On clear, moonless nights, a nebulous band of light can be seen stretching across the sky. This is the Milky Way (Fig. 18.1). The name is used both for the phenomenon in the sky and for the large stellar system causing it. The Milky Way system is also called the Galaxy — with a capital letter.
