The wide-field, multiplexed, spectroscopic facility WEAVE: Survey design, overview, and simulated implementation

Shoko Jin, Scott C. Trager, Gavin B. Dalton +212

WEAVE, the new wide-field, massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey facility for the William Herschel Telescope, will see first light in late 2022. WEAVE comprises a new 2-degree…

The bar resonances and low angular momentum moving groups in the Galaxy revealed by stellar ages

Chervin F. P. Laporte, Benoit Famaey, Giacomo Monari +3

We use the second Gaia data release in combination with the catalog of Sanders & Das (2018) to dissect the Milky Way disc in phase-space and relative ages. We confirm and report th…

Fluctuations in galactic bar parameters due to bar-spiral interaction

T. Hilmi, I. Minchev, T. Buck +10

We study the late-time evolution of the central regions of two Milky Way-like simulations of galaxies formed in a cosmological context, one hosting a fast bar and the other a slow…

The chemistry of stars in the bar of the Milky Way

C. Wegg, A. Rojas-Arriagada, M. Schultheis +1

We use a sample of 938 red clump giant stars located in the direction of the galactic long bar to study the chemistry of Milky Way bar stars. Kinematically separating stars on bar…

Tracing Hercules in Galactic azimuth with Gaia DR2

G. Monari, B. Famaey, A. Siebert +4

The second data release of the Gaia mission has revealed, in stellar velocity and action space, multiple ridges, the exact origin of which is still debated. Recently, we demonstrat…

7.1 keV sterile neutrino dark matter constraints from a deep Chandra X-ray observation of the Galactic bulge Limiting Window

F. Hofmann, C. Wegg

Recently an unidentified emission line at 3.55 keV has been detected in X-ray spectra of clusters of galaxies. The line has been discussed as a possible decay signature of 7.1 keV…
