Understanding the Origin and Dynamical Evolution of the Unique Open Star Cluster Berkeley 20 using FIRE Simulations
Alessa I. Wiggins, Jamie R. Quinn, Micah Oeur +11
Open clusters (OCs) act as key probes that can be leveraged to constrain the formation and evolution of the Milky Way (MW)'s disk, as each has a unique chemical fingerprint and wel…
Spiral Structure Properties, Dynamics, and Evolution in MW-mass Galaxy Simulations
J. R. Quinn, S. R. Loebman, K. J. Daniel +8
The structure of spiral galaxies is essential to understanding the dynamics and evolution of disk galaxies; however, the precise nature of spiral arms remains uncertain. Two challe…
Stellar Velocity Dispersion versus Age: Consistency across Observations and Simulations, with the Milky Way as an Outlier
Fiona McCluskey, Andrew Wetzel, Sarah Loebman +1
Within disk galaxies, the velocity dispersion, , of stars increases with age, , as measured in the Milky Way (MW) and nearby galaxies. This relation provides a key window int…
