GSE vs. LMC: reshaping of radially biased stellar haloes by satellites

Adam M. Dillamore, Jason L. Sanders, Richard A. N. Brooks

Perturbations from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) of the Milky Way's stellar and dark matter haloes are well-established. However, studies have generally not considered the high…

Quantifying the Milky Way, LMC and their interaction using all-sky kinematics of outer halo stars

Richard A. N. Brooks, Jason L. Sanders, Adam M. Dillamore +4

The recent pericentric passage of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has dislodged the Milky Way's (MW) centre of mass, inducing dynamical disequilibrium, the reflex motion, in the k…

The Milky Way - Large Magellanic Cloud Interaction with Simulation Based Inference

Richard A. N. Brooks, Jason L. Sanders, Vedant Chandra +4

The infall of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) into the Milky Way (MW) has displaced the MW's centre of mass, manifesting as an observed reflex motion in the velocities of outer ha…

A Simulation Based Inference Approach to the Dynamics of the MW-LMC System -- Validation

Richard A. N. Brooks, Jason L. Sanders, Adam M. Dillamore +2

The infall of the LMC into the Milky Way (MW) has generated dynamical disequilibrium throughout the MW. The interaction has displaced the MW's centre of mass, manifesting as an app…

LMC Calls, Milky Way Halo Answers: Disentangling the Effects of the MW--LMC Interaction on Stellar Stream Populations

Richard A. N. Brooks, Nicolás Garavito-Camargo, Kathryn V. Johnston +3

The infall of the LMC into the Milky Way (MW) has dynamical implications throughout the MW's dark matter halo. We study the impact of this merger on the statistical properties of p…

Stellar Atmospheric Parameters From Gaia BP/RP Spectra using Uncertain Neural Networks

Connor P. Fallows, Jason L. Sanders

With the plentiful information available in the Gaia BP/RP spectra, there is significant scope for applying discriminative models to extract stellar atmospheric parameters and abun…

The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper

Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214

The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…

Action and energy clustering of stellar streams in deforming Milky Way dark matter haloes

Richard A. N. Brooks, Jason L. Sanders, Sophia Lilleengen +2

We investigate the non-adiabatic effect of time-dependent deformations in the Milky Way (MW) halo potential on stellar streams. Specifically, we consider the MW's response to the i…

From particles to orbits: precise dark matter density profiles using dynamical information

Claudia Muni, Andrew Pontzen, Jason L. Sanders +3

We introduce a new method to calculate dark matter halo density profiles from simulations. Each particle is 'smeared' over its orbit to obtain a dynamical profile that is averaged…

Fluctuations in galactic bar parameters due to bar-spiral interaction

T. Hilmi, I. Minchev, T. Buck +10

We study the late-time evolution of the central regions of two Milky Way-like simulations of galaxies formed in a cosmological context, one hosting a fast bar and the other a slow…
