The Milky Way's Early Disk Was Built in Bursts. I. Evidence from Low-angular-momentum, High- Stars Scattered Out of the Protodisk by Merger Events

Tiancheng Sun, Maosheng Xiang, Shaolan Bi +3

Stars born in the high- disk can later acquire low angular momentum through dynamical scattering during early merger events. Their age--metallicity distribution thus provides a…

Quiescent Host Galaxies of Extended Quasars Revealed by Spectrophotometric Decomposition

Shengxiu Sun, Linhua Jiang, Zhiwei Pan +27

Previous works of low-redshift quasar host galaxies have focused on compact quasars and found that their host galaxies are mainly star-forming galaxies. Here we present a study of…

Discovery of an Unbound Flyby Companion of UBC 63: In the Immediate Aftermath of a Close Encounter

Samrat Biswas, Biman J Medhi, Sergio Messina +8

We re-investigate the open cluster UBC 63 using the Gaia DR3 data and show that, rather than being a single cluster as previously classified, it is a compelling candidate for a dou…
