Visualizing Disequilibrium: Tracing Two-Point Correlations to Specific Spatial Structures in the Milky Way

Austin Hinkel, Josephine Vanzant

The Two-Point Correlation Function can be used to demonstrate the existence of substructure within a dataset, but typical implementations do not track the individual points which c…

A Wave-Corrected Assessment of the Local Midplane

Ziyuan Yin, Austin Hinkel

As the number of known Galactic structures mounts thanks to the Gaia Space Telescope, it is now pertinent to study methods for disentangling structures occupying the same regions o…

Two-point correlation function studies for the Milky Way: discovery of spatial clustering from disk excitations and substructure

Austin Hinkel, Susan Gardner, Brian Yanny

We introduce a two-particle correlation function (2PCF) for the Milky Way, constructed to probe spatial correlations in the orthogonal directions of the stellar disk in the Galacti…

Axial Asymmetry Studies in Gaia Data Release 2 Yield the Pattern Speed of the Galactic Bar

Austin Hinkel, Susan Gardner, Brian Yanny

Our recent studies of axial-symmetry breaking in the nearby () star counts are sensitive to the distortions of stellar orbits perpendicular and parallel to the or…

Probing Axial Symmetry Breaking in the Galaxy with Gaia Data Release 2

Austin Hinkel, Susan Gardner, Brian Yanny

We study a set of solar neighborhood ( kpc) stars from Gaia Data Release 2 to determine azimuthal star count differences, i.e., left and right of the line from the Galactic…

Applying Noether's theorem to matter in the Milky Way: evidence for external perturbations and non-steady-state effects from Gaia Data Release 2

Susan Gardner, Austin Hinkel, Brian Yanny

We apply Noether's theorem to observations of main-sequence stars from the Gaia Data Release 2 archive to probe the matter distribution function of the Galaxy. That is, we examine…
