The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA Derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools and Stellar Library
D. S. Aguado, Romina Ahumada, Andres Almeida +230
Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years o…
The chemical composition of planet building blocks as predicted by stellar population synthesis
N. Cabral, N. Lagarde, C. Reylé +2
Future space missions will improve considerably our understanding of the formation and history of planetary systems. Currently, observations show that the presence of planetary com…
BGM FASt: Besançon Galaxy Model for Big Data. Simultaneous inference of the IMF, SFH and density in the Solar Neighbourhood
R. Mor, A. C. Robin, F. Figueras +1
We develop a new theoretical framework to generate Besançon Galaxy Model fast approximate simulations (BGM FASt) to address fundamental questions of the Galactic structure and evol…
A-type stars in the Canada-France Imaging Survey I. The stellar halo of the Milky Way traced to large radius by blue horizontal branch stars
Guillaume F. Thomas, Alan W. McConnachie, Rodrigo A. Ibata +14
We present the stellar density profile of the outer halo of the Galaxy traced over a range of Galactocentric radii from kpc by blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars…
A new dynamically self-consistent version of the Besançon Galaxy Model
Olivier Bienaymé, Jérome Leca, Annie C. Robin
Context. Dynamically self-consistent galactic models are necessary for analysing and interpreting star counts, stellar density distributions, and stellar kinematics in order to und…
Predictions of the WFIRST Microlensing Survey I: Bound Planet Detection Rates
Matthew T. Penny, B. Scott Gaudi, Eamonn Kerins +4
The Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST) is the next NASA astrophysics flagship mission, to follow the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The WFIRST mission was chosen as…
