A Galactic Self-Portrait: Density Structure and Integrated Properties of the Milky Way Disk

Julie Imig, Jon A. Holtzman, Gail Zasowski +23

The evolution history of the Milky Way disk is imprinted in the ages, positions, and chemical compositions of individual stars. In this study, we derive the intrinsic density distr…

The size of the Milky Way galaxy

Jianhui Lian, Gail Zasowski, Bingqiu Chen +4

The size of a galaxy is one of the fundamental parameters that reflects its growth and assembly history. Traditionally, the size of the Milky Way has been characterized by the scal…

A Tale of Two Disks: Mapping the Milky Way with the Final Data Release of APOGEE

Julie Imig, Cathryn Price, Jon A. Holtzman +24

We present new maps of the Milky Way disk showing the distribution of metallicity ([Fe/H]), -element abundances ([Mg/Fe]), and stellar age, using a sample of 66,496 red giant st…

The Milky Way tomography with APOGEE: intrinsic density distribution and structure of mono-abundance populations

Jianhui Lian, Gail Zasowski, Ted Mackereth +11

The spatial distribution of mono-abundance populations (MAPs, selected in [Fe/H] and [Mg/Fe]) reflect the chemical and structural evolution in a galaxy and impose strong constraint…
