On the origin of high eccentricity halo stars
C. B. Brook, D. Kawata, B. K. Gibson +1
The present-day chemical and dynamical properties of the Milky Way are signatures of the Galaxy's formation and evolution. Using a self consistent chemodynamical evolution code we…
Cosmology on a Mesh
Stuart P. D. Gill, Alexander Knebe, Brad K. Gibson +3
An adaptive multi grid approach to simulating the formation of structure from collisionless dark matter is described. MLAPM (Multi-Level Adaptive Particle Mesh) is one of the most…
Simulations of the heating of the Galactic stellar disc
Jyrki Hanninen, Chris Flynn
The velocity dispersion of nearby stars in the Galactic disc is well known to increase substantially with age; this is the so-called Age-Velocity relation, and is interpreted as a…
Luminosity-metallicity relation for stars on the lower main sequence
Eira Kotoneva, Chris Flynn, Raul Jimenez
We present a comparison of the predictions of stellar models with the luminosity of the lower main sequence () using K dwarfs in the Hipparcos catalog. The paralla…
White dwarfs and Galactic dark matter
Chris Flynn, Janne Holopainen, Johan Holmberg
We discuss the recent discovery by Oppenheimer et al (2001) of old, cool white dwarf stars, which may be the first direct detection of Galactic halo dark matter. We argue here that…
