Weighing the Galactic disk in sub-regions of the solar neighbourhood using Gaia DR2

Axel Widmark, Pablo Fernández de Salas, Giacomo Monari

We infer the gravitational potential of the Galactic disk by analysing the phase-space densities of 120 stellar samples in 40 spatially separate sub-regions of the solar neighbourh…

Measuring the Matter Density of the Galactic Disk Using Stellar Streams

Axel Widmark, Khyati Malhan, Pablo F. de Salas +1

We present a novel method for determining the total matter surface density of the Galactic disk by analysing the kinematics of a dynamically cold stellar stream that passes through…

21 cm cosmology and spin temperature reduction via spin-dependent dark matter interactions

Axel Widmark

The EDGES low-band experiment has measured an absorption feature in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), corresponding to the 21 cm hyperfine transition of hydrogen at…

Measuring the local matter density using Gaia DR2

Axel Widmark

We determine the total dynamical matter density in the solar neighbourhood using the second Gaia data release (DR2). The dynamical matter density distribution is inferred in a fram…

Inferring properties of the local white dwarf population in astrometric and photometric surveys

Axel Widmark, Daniel J. Mortlock, Hiranya V. Peiris

The Gaia mission will provide precise astrometry for an unprecedented number of white dwarfs (WDs), encoding information on stellar evolution, Type Ia supernovae progenitor scenari…
