On the Origin of Kinematic Structure in the Young Association Serpens OB2
Michael A. Kuhn, Robert A. Benjamin, Simran S. Singh
The Serpens OB2 association (l ~ 18.5 deg, b ~ 1.9 deg, d = 1950 +/- 30 pc) is a large star-forming complex ~65 pc above the Galactic midplane, with a clumpy, elongated structure e…
Azimuthal Misalignments in Stellar Warp Structure as Dynamical Tracers of Mergers in Milky Way-like Galaxies
Lekshmi Thulasidharan, Elena D'Onghia, Robert Benjamin
We investigate the origin of warps in stellar disks using high-resolution Milky Way analogs from the IllustrisTNG50 simulation. Focusing on galaxies that experienced a major merger…
Kinetic tomography of the Galactic plane within 1.25 kiloparsecs from the Sun. The interstellar flows revealed by HI and CO line emission and 3D dust
J. D. Soler, S. Molinari, S. C. O. Glover +10
We present a reconstruction of the line-of-sight motions of the local interstellar medium (ISM) based on the combination of a model of the three-dimensional dust density distributi…
The VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey: Completion of the observations and legacy
R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, J. Alonso-García +143
The ESO public survey VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) surveyed the inner Galactic bulge and the adjacent southern Galactic disk from . Upon its conclusion, the c…
Most nearby young star clusters formed in three massive complexes
Cameren Swiggum, João Alves, Robert Benjamin +9
Efforts to unveil the structure of the local interstellar medium and its recent star formation history have spanned the past seventy years. Recent studies utilizing precise data fr…
3D structure of the Milky Way out to 10 kpc from the Sun. Catalogue of large molecular clouds in the Galactic Plane
Sara Rezaei Kh., Henrik Beuther, Robert A. Benjamin +4
Understanding the 3D structure of the Milky Way is a crucial step in deriving properties of the star-forming regions, as well as the Galaxy as a whole. We present a novel 3D map of…
