Self-consistent modelling of the Milky Way's Nuclear Stellar Disc
Mattia C. Sormani, Jason L. Sanders, Tobias K. Fritz +14
The Nuclear Stellar Disc (NSD) is a flattened high-density stellar structure that dominates the gravitational field of the Milky Way at Galactocentric radius $30\lesssim R\lesssim…
Variable star classification across the Galactic bulge and disc with the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea survey
Thomas A. Molnar, Jason L. Sanders, Leigh C. Smith +3
We present VIVACE, the VIrac VAriable Classification Ensemble, a catalogue of variable stars extracted from an automated classification pipeline for the Vista Variables in the Vía…
Evidence for sub-Chandrasekhar Type Ia supernovae from the last major merger
Jason L. Sanders, Vasily Belokurov, Kai T. F. Man
We investigate the contribution of sub-Chandrasekhar mass Type Ia supernovae to the chemical enrichment of the Gaia Sausage galaxy, the progenitor of a significant merger event in…
VVV-WIT-08: the giant star that blinked
Leigh C. Smith, Sergey E. Koposov, Philip W. Lucas +11
We report the serendipitous discovery of a late-type giant star that exhibited a smooth, eclipse-like drop in flux to a depth of 97 per cent. Minimum flux occurred in April 2012 an…
