The origin of accreted stellar halo populations in the Milky Way using APOGEE, , and the EAGLE simulations
J. Ted Mackereth, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Joel Pfeffer +12
Recent work indicates that the nearby Galactic halo is dominated by the debris from a major accretion event. We confirm that result from an analysis of APOGEE-DR14 element abundanc…

Fast estimation of orbital parameters in Milky-Way-like potentials
J. Ted Mackereth, Jo Bovy
Orbital parameters, such as eccentricity and maximum vertical excursion, of stars in the Milky Way are an important tool for understanding its dynamics and evolution, but calculati…

The origin of diverse -element abundances in galaxy discs
J. Ted Mackereth, Robert A. Crain, Ricardo P. Schiavon +3
Spectroscopic surveys of the Galaxy reveal that its disc stars exhibit a spread in at fixed , manifest at some locations as a bimodality. The ori…
