Smooth kinematic and metallicity gradients reveal that the Milky Way's nuclear star cluster and disc might be part of the same structure
F. Nogueras-Lara, A. Feldmeier-Krause, R. Schödel +7
The innermost regions of most galaxies are characterised by the presence of extremely dense nuclear star clusters. Nevertheless, these clusters are not the only stellar component p…
Co-moving groups around massive stars in the Nuclear Stellar Disk
Á. Martínez-Arranz, R. Schödel, F. Nogueras-Lara +2
During the last 30 Myr the nuclear stellar disk in the Galactic center has been the most prolific star forming region of the Milky Way when averaged by volume. Remarkably, t…
Roman Early-Definition Astrophysics Survey Opportunity: Galactic Roman Infrared Plane Survey (GRIPS)
Roberta Paladini, Catherine Zucker, Robert Benjamin +67
A wide-field near-infrared survey of the Galactic disk and bulge/bar(s) is supported by a large representation of the community of Galactic astronomers. The combination of sensitiv…
The formation history of our Galaxy's nuclear stellar disc constrained from HST observations of the Quintuplet field
R. Schoedel, F. Nogueras-Lara, M. Hosek +9
Until recently it was thought that the nuclear stellar disc at the centre of our Galaxy was formed via quasi-continuous star formation over billions of years. However, an analysis…
Kinematics of Galactic Centre clouds shaped by shear-seeded solenoidal turbulence
Maya A. Petkova, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Jonathan D. Henshaw +17
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ; the central ~ 500 pc of the Galaxy) is a kinematically unusual environment relative to the Galactic disc, with high velocity dispersions and a stee…
Evidence of an age gradient along the line of sight in the nuclear stellar disc of the Milky Way
F. Nogueras-Lara, M. Schultheis, F. Najarro +3
The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) is a flat dense stellar structure at the heart of the Milky Way. Recent work has shown that analogous structures are common in the nuclei of external…
