Orbital Torus Imaging: Acceleration, density, and dark matter in the Galactic disk measured with element abundance gradients
Danny Horta, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, David W. Hogg +5
Under the assumption of a simple and time-invariant gravitational potential, many Galactic dynamics techniques infer the Milky Way's mass and dark matter distribution from stellar…
On the co-rotation of Milky Way satellites: LMC-mass satellites induce apparent motions in outer halo tracers
Nicolas Garavito-Camargo, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Jenna Samuel +8
Understanding the physical mechanism behind the formation of a co-rotating thin plane of satellite galaxies, like the one observed around the Milky Way (MW), has been challenging.…
The APOGEE Value Added Catalogue of Galactic globular cluster stars
Ricardo P. Schiavon, Siân G. Phillips, Natalie Myers +17
We introduce the SDSS/APOGEE Value Added Catalogue of Galactic Globular Cluster (GC) Stars. The catalogue is the result of a critical search of the APOGEE data release 17 (DR17) ca…
The Debris of the "Last Major Merger" is Dynamically Young
Thomas Donlon, Heidi Jo Newberg, Robyn Sanderson +4
The Milky Way's (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the "last major merger." Hypotheses for the origin of t…
Chemical abundances of the young inner-disk open cluster NGC 6705 observed by APOGEE: sodium-rich and not -enhanced
V. Loaiza-Tacuri, K. Cunha, D. Souto +19
Previous results in the literature have found the young inner-disk open cluster NGC 6705 to be mildly -enhanced. We examined this possibility via an independent chemical abundan…
The proto-galaxy of Milky Way-mass haloes in the FIRE simulations
Danny Horta, Emily C. Cunningham, Robyn Sanderson +9
Observational studies are finding stars believed to be relics of the earliest stages of hierarchical mass assembly of the Milky Way (i.e., proto-Galaxy). In this work, we contextua…
