TRIGONOMETRIC PARALLAXES OF HIGH MASS STAR FORMING REGIONS: THE STRUCTURE AND KINEMATICS OF THE MILKY WAY [PDF]
, 2014 Over 100 trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions for masers associated with young, high-mass stars have been measured with the Bar and Spiral Structure Legacy Survey, a Very Long Baseline Array key science project, the European VLBI Network, and the ...

Cosmic Distances Calibrated to 1% Precision with Gaia EDR3 Parallaxes and Hubble Space Telescope Photometry of 75 Milky Way Cepheids Confirm Tension with ΛCDM [PDF]
, 2020 We present an expanded sample of 75 Milky Way Cepheids with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry and Gaia EDR3 parallaxes, which we use to recalibrate the extragalactic distance ladder and refine the determination of the Hubble constant.

The Star Formation Rate of the Milky Way as Seen by Herschel [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 We present a new derivation of the Milky Way’s current star formation rate (SFR) based on the data of the Herschel InfraRed Galactic Plane Survey (Hi-GAL).

Milky Way and Andromeda analogs from the TNG50 simulation [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 We present the properties of Milky Way- and Andromeda-like (MW/M31-like) galaxies simulated within TNG50, the highest-resolution run of the IllustrisTNG suite of ΛCDM magneto-hydrodynamical simulations.

The mass distribution and gravitational potential of the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2016 We present mass models of the Milky Way created to fit observational constraints and to be consistent with expectations from theoretical modelling. The method used to create these models is that demonstrated in our previous study, and we improve on those

Streams, Substructures, and the Early History of the Milky Way [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020 The advent of the second data release of the Gaia mission, in combination with data from large spectroscopic surveys, is revolutionizing our understanding of the Galaxy. Thanks to these transformational data sets and the knowledge accumulated thus far, a

All-sky three-dimensional dust density and extinction Maps of the Milky Way out to 2.8 kpc [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical SocietyThree-dimensional dust density maps are crucial for understanding the structure of the interstellar medium of the Milky Way and the processes that shape it.

In-situ vs accreted Milky Way globular clusters: a new classification method and implications for cluster formation [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 We present a new scheme for the classification of the in-situ and accreted globular clusters (GCs). The scheme uses total energy E and z-component of the orbital angular momentum and is calibrated using the [Al/Fe] abundance ratio.

On the rate of core collapse supernovae in the milky way [PDF]
New Astronomy, 2020 Several large neutrino telescopes, operating at various sites around the world, have as their main objective the first detection of neutrinos emitted by a gravitational collapse in the Milky Way.
