Towards breaking the degeneracy between stellar ages and unresolved multiplicity

Friedrich Anders, Anna B. A. Queiroz, Sagar Malhotra +2

Stellar age is the central desirable parameter we need to disentangle different Galactic formation scenarios. Nevertheless, no stellar age dating method is completely model-indepen…

The oldest Milky Way stars: New constraints on the age of the Universe and the Hubble constant

Elena Tomasetti, Cristina Chiappini, Samir Nepal +6

We exploit the most robust, old, and cosmology-independent age estimates of individual stars from Gaia DR3 to place a lower bound on the age of the Universe, . These constrain…

The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

SDSS Collaboration, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Mojgan Aghakhanloo +210

Mapping the local and distant Universe is key to our understanding of it. For decades, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has made a concerted effort to map millions of celestial…

The Spheroidal Bulge of the Milky Way: Chemodynamically Distinct from the Inner-Thick Disc and Bar

Samir Nepal, Cristina Chiappini, Angeles Pérez-Villegas +7

Studying the composition and origin of the inner region of our Galaxy -- the "Galactic bulge" -- is crucial for understanding the formation and evolution of the Milky Way and other…

Early Co-formation of the Milky Way's Thin and Thick Disks at Redshift z > 2

Lais Borbolato, Silvia Rossi, Hélio D. Perottoni +8

The Milky Way serves as a template for understanding the formation and evolution of late-type massive disk galaxies since we can obtain detailed chemical and kinematic information…

The Age-Thickness Relation of the Milky Way Disk: A Tracer of Galactic Merging History

Lekshmi Thulasidharan, Elena D'Onghia, Robert Benjamin +3

The prevailing model of galaxy formation proposes that galaxies like the Milky Way are built through a series of mergers with smaller galaxies over time. However, the exact details…

The VMC survey -- XXXVIII. Proper motion of the Magellanic Bridge

Thomas Schmidt, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni, Florian Niederhofer +14

The Magellanic Clouds are a nearby pair of interacting dwarf galaxies and satellites of the Milky Way. Studying their kinematic properties is essential to understanding their origi…
