A Holistic Review of a Galactic Interaction
Douglas Grion Filho, Kathryn V. Johnston, Eloisa Poggio +3
Our situation as occupants of the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy, bombarded by the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, provides an intimate view of physical processes that can lead to the dynamical h…
Measuring the vertical response of the Galactic disc to an infalling satellite
Eloisa Poggio, Chervin F. P. Laporte, Kathryn V. Johnston +3
Using N-body simulations of the Milky Way interacting with a satellite similar to the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy, we quantitatively analyse the vertical response of the Galactic disc…
The Magellanic Corona and the formation of the Magellanic Stream
Scott Lucchini, Elena D'Onghia, Andrew J Fox +3
The dominant gaseous structure in the Galactic halo is the Magellanic Stream, an extended network of neutral and ionized filaments surrounding the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds…
Stellar scattering and the formation of exponential discs in self-gravitating systems
Jian Wu, Curtis Struck, Elena D'Onghia +1
We show, using the N-body code GADGET-2, that stellar scattering by massive clumps can produce exponential discs, and the effectiveness of the process depends on the mass of scatte…
Towards a direct measure of the Galactic acceleration
Sukanya Chakrabarti, Jason Wright, Philip Chang +9
High precision spectrographs can enable not only the discovery of exoplanets, but can also provide a fundamental measurement in Galactic dynamics. Over about ten year baselines, th…
The Milky Way's bar structural properties from gravitational waves
Maite J. C. Wilhelm, Valeriya Korol, Elena M. Rossi +1
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will enable Galactic gravitational wave (GW) astronomy by individually resolving signals from double white dwarf (DWD) binar…
