The relative efficiencies of bars and clumps in driving disc stars to retrograde motion
Karl Fiteni, Joseph Caruana, João A. S. Amarante +2
The presence of stars on retrograde orbits in disc galaxies is usually attributed to accretion events, both via direct accretion, as well as through the heating of the disc stars.…
Co-formation of the thin and thick discs revealed by APOGEE-DR16 and Gaia-DR2
Leandro Beraldo e Silva, Victor P. Debattista, David Nidever +2
Since thin disc stars are younger than thick disc stars on average, the thin disc is predicted by some models to start forming after the thick disc had formed, around 10 Gyr ago. A…
The tale of the tail -- disentangling the high transverse velocity stars in Gaia DR2
João A. S. Amarante, Martin C. Smith, Corrado Boeche
Although the stellar halo accounts for just ~1% of the total stellar mass of the Milky Way, the kinematics of halo stars encode valuable information about the origins and evolution…
The Splash without a merger
João A. S. Amarante, Leandro Beraldo e Silva, Victor P. Debattista +1
The Milky Way's progenitor experienced several merger events which left their imprints on the stellar halo, including the Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus. Recently, it has been proposed tha…
