A KMOS survey of the nuclear disk of the Milky Way I: Survey design and metallicities
Tobias K. Fritz, Lee Patrick, Anja Feldmeier-Krause +7
In the central few degrees of the bulge of the Milky Way there is a flattened structure of gas, dust and stars (the central molecular zone) similar to nuclear disks in other galaxi…
The Milky Way's nuclear star cluster: Old, metal-rich, and cuspy
R. Schödel, F. Nogueras-Lara, E. Gallego-Cano +3
(abridged) We provide Ks photometry for roughly 39,000 stars and H-band photometry for about 11,000 stars within a field of about 40"x40", centred on Sgr A*. In addition, we provid…
GALACTICNUCLEUS: A high-angular-resolution JHKs imaging survey of the Galactic centre III. Evidence for wavelength dependence of the extinction curve in the near-infrared
Francisco Nogueras-Lara, Rainer Schödel, Nadine Neumayer +4
The characterisation of the extinction curve in the near infrared (NIR) is fundamental to analyse the structure and stellar population of the Galactic centre (GC), whose analysis i…
Jeans modelling of the Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc
Mattia C. Sormani, John Magorrian, Francisco Nogueras-Lara +4
The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) is a flattened stellar structure that dominates the gravitational potential of the Milky Way at Galactocentric radii $30 \lesssim R \lesssim 300{\, \…
Galactic extinction laws: I. A global NIR analysis with 2MASS photometry
J. Maíz Apellániz, M. Pantaleoni González, R. H. Barbá +2
We have started an ambitious program to determine if the full diversity of extinction laws is real or if some of it is due to calibration or methodological issues. Here we start by…
Asymmetric spatial distribution of sub-solar metallicity stars in the Milky Way nuclear star cluster
A. Feldmeier-Krause, W. Kerzendorf, T. Do +10
We present stellar metallicity measurements of more than 600 late-type stars in the central 10 pc of the Galactic centre. Together with our previously published KMOS data, this dat…
New constraints on the structure of the nuclear stellar cluster of the Milky Way from star counts and MIR imaging
E. Gallego-Cano, R. Schödel, F. Nogueras-Lara +5
The Milky Way nuclear star cluster (MWNSC) is a crucial laboratory for studying the galactic nuclei of other galaxies, but its properties have not been determined unambiguously unt…
