A Geometric Calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch in the Milky Way using Gaia DR3
M. Dixon, J. Mould, C. Flynn +3
We use the latest parallaxes measurements from Gaia DR3 to obtain a geometric calibration of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) in Cousins magnitudes as a standard candle f…
Milky Way Mass with K Giants and BHB Stars Using LAMOST, SDSS/SEGUE, and Gaia: 3D Spherical Jeans Equation and Tracer Mass Estimator
Sarah A. Bird, Xiang-Xiang Xue, Chao Liu +8
We measure the enclosed Milky Way mass profile to Galactocentric distances of and kpc using the smooth, diffuse stellar halo samples of Bird et al. The samples ar…
Fast radio bursts as probes of feedback from active galactic nuclei
Adam J. Batten, Alan R. Duffy, Chris Flynn +3
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are a promising tool for studying the low-density universe as their dispersion measures (DM) are extremely sensitive probes of electron column density. Act…
Constraints on the assembly history of the Milky Way's smooth, diffuse stellar halo from the metallicity-dependent, radially-dominated velocity anisotropy profiles probed with K giants and BHB stars using LAMOST, SDSS/SEGUE, and Gaia
Sarah A. Bird, Xiang-Xiang Xue, Chao Liu +5
We analyze the anisotropy profile of the Milky Way's smooth, diffuse stellar halo using SDSS/SEGUE blue horizontal branch stars and SDSS/SEGUE and LAMOST K giants. These intrinsica…
The Rotation Curve, Mass Distribution and Dark Matter Content of the Milky Way from Classical Cepheids
Iminhaji Ablimit, Gang Zhao, Chris Flynn +1
With the increasing numbers of large stellar survey projects, the quality and quantity of excellent tracers to study the Milky Way is rapidly growing, one of which is the classical…
The low density and magnetization of a massive galaxy halo exposed by a fast radio burst
J. Xavier Prochaska, Jean-Pierre Macquart, Matthew McQuinn +16
Present-day galaxies are surrounded by cool and enriched halo gas extending to hundreds of kiloparsecs. This halo gas is thought to be the dominant reservoir of material available…
