Substructure in bulk velocities of Milky Way disk stars

Jeffrey L. Carlin, James DeLaunay, Heidi Jo Newberg +11

We find that Galactic disk stars near the anticenter exhibit velocity asymmetries in both the Galactocentric radial and vertical components across the mid-plane as well as azimutha…

When is an axisymmetric potential separable?

J. An

An axially symmetric potential psi(R,z)=psi(r,theta) is completely separable if the ratio s:k is constant. Here r*s=d^2(r^2*psi)/dr/d(theta) and k=d^2(psi)/dR/dz. If beta=s/k, then…

No compelling evidence of significant early star cluster disruption in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Richard de Grijs, Simon P. Goodwin, Peter Anders

Whether or not the rich star cluster population in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is affected by significant disruption during the first few x 10^8 yr of its evolution is an open…
