Mapping parameters of idealised hydrodynamic galaxy simulations to bar properties: a case study with the RAMSES code
Srikanth T. Nagesh, Benoit Famaey, Jonathan Freundlich +4
Cosmological simulations with high spatial resolution often struggle to reproduce the observed fraction of galactic bars across redshift and may produce bars that are too short. To…
A non-axisymmetric potential for the Milky Way disk
Y. R. Khalil, B. Famaey, G. Monari +9
We provide a purely dynamical global map of the non-axisymmetric structure of the Milky Way disk. For this, we exploit the information contained within the in-plane motions of disk…
Could very low-metallicity stars with rotation-dominated orbits have been shepherded by the bar?
Zhen Yuan, Chengdong Li, Nicolas F. Martin +11
The most metal-poor stars (e.g. [Fe/H] ) are the ancient fossils from the early assembly epoch of our Galaxy, very likely before the formation of the thick disc. Recent s…
Exploring the impact of a rapidly decelerating bar on transforming bulge orbits into disc-like orbits
Chengdong Li, Zhen Yuan, Giacomo Monari +7
The most metal-poor tail of the Milky Way ([Fe/H] 2.5) contains a population of stars with very prograde planar orbits, which is puzzling in both their origin and evoluti…
The signatures of the resonances of a large Galactic bar in local velocity space
Giacomo Monari, Benoit Famaey, Arnaud Siebert +2
The second data release of the Gaia mission has revealed a very rich structure in local velocity space. In terms of in-plane motions, this rich structure is also seen as multiple r…
Stellar Motion around Spiral Arms: Gaia Mock Data
D. Kawata, J. A. S. Hunt, R. J. J. Grand +3
We compare the stellar motion around a spiral arm created in two different scenarios, transient/co-rotating spiral arms and density-wave-like spiral arms. We generate Gaia mock dat…
Chemically tagging the Hyades stream: Does it partly originate from the Hyades cluster?
L. Pompéia, T. Masseron, B. Famaey +19
The Hyades stream has long been thought to be a dispersed vestige of the Hyades cluster. However, recent analyses of the parallax distribution, of the mass function, and of the act…
The catalog of radial velocity standard stars for the Gaia RVS: status and progress of the observations
L. Chemin, C. Soubiran, F. Crifo +8
A new full-sky catalog of Radial Velocity standard stars is being built for the determination of the Radial Velocity Zero Point of the RVS on board of Gaia. After a careful selecti…
Towards a new full-sky list of radial velocity standard stars
F. Crifo, G. Jasniewicz, C. Soubiran +4
The calibration of the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) onboard the ESA Gaia satellite (to be launched in 2012) requires a list of standard stars with a radial velocity (RV) know…
Low-Velocity Streams in the Solar Neighborhood Caused by the Galactic Bar
I. Minchev, C. Boily, A. Siebert +1
We find that a steady state bar induces transient features at low velocities in the solar neighborhood velocity distribution due to the initial response of the disc, following the…
