Exploring the interaction between the MW and LMC with a large sample of blue horizontal branch stars from the DESI survey
Amanda Byström, Sergey E. Koposov, Sophia Lilleengen +42
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a Milky Way (MW) satellite that is massive enough to gravitationally attract the MW disc and inner halo, causing significant motion of the inner…
The Rapid Formation of the Metal Poor Milky Way
Turner Woody, Charlie Conroy, Phillip Cargile +6
Our understanding of the assembly timeline of the Milky Way has been transforming along with the dramatic increase in astrometric and spectroscopic data available over the past sev…
Our Halo of Ice and Fire: Strong Kinematic Asymmetries in the Galactic Halo
Jiwon Jesse Han, Charlie Conroy, Dennis Zaritsky +4
The kinematics of the stellar halo hold important clues to the assembly history and mass distribution of the Galaxy. In this study, we map the kinematics of stars across the Galact…
On the Origin of High-velocity Clouds in the Galaxy
Scott Lucchini, Jiwon Jesse Han, Lars Hernquist +1
The origin of our Galaxy's high-velocity clouds (HVCs) remains a mystery after many decades of effort. In this paper, we use the TNG50 simulation of the IllustrisTNG project to ide…
All-Sky Kinematics of the Distant Halo: The Reflex Response to the LMC
Vedant Chandra, Rohan P. Naidu, Charlie Conroy +11
The infall of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is predicted to displace the inner Milky Way (MW), imprinting an apparent 'reflex motion' on the observed velocities of distant halo…
