Turbulent gas-rich discs at high redshift: the origin of early massive stellar bars

Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Thor Tepper-Garcia, Chris Hamilton +4

Recent observations combining the power of ALMA and JWST have revealed large ( kpc), massive () stellar bars at when the Universe…

The GALAH Survey: Neutron-Capture Elemental Abundances for 350,000 Gaia-RVS spectra and the Chemodynamics of Accreted Structures

Pradosh Barun Das, Daniel B. Zucker, Aldo Mura-Guzmán +15

We present a comprehensive data-driven spectroscopic analysis of 357,415 red giant stars using Gaia DR3 Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) spectra (8460-8700 A; ),…

AMPM II. A Lunar-Mass Primordial Black Hole Microlensing Candidate in the Milky Way Halo

Renee Key, Edward N. Taylor, Ken C. Freeman +5

Primordial Black Holes (PBH) are hypothesised to form during inflation and have long been considered a candidate for compact dark matter. Gravitational microlensing is known as a p…

AMPM I. A Targeted Search for Asteroid Mass Primordial Black Hole Microlenses

Renee Key, Edward N. Taylor, Ken C. Freeman +5

Gravitational microlensing is a powerful technique for constraining the abundance of dark matter in asteroid mass to supermassive primordial black holes at masses of $-11 \lesssim…

Bar Properties and Star-by-Star Bar Membership via Action Conservation

Elizabeth J. Iles, Finn A. Pal, Joss Bland-Hawthorn +1

A bar-like central feature is commonly observed in both nearby and distant spiral-type galaxies, including the Milky Way. While many methods exist to categorise this morphology, no…

The GALAH survey: Improving chemical abundances using star clusters

Janez Kos, Sven Buder, Kevin L. Beeson +18

Large spectroscopic surveys aim to consistently compute stellar parameters of very diverse stars while minimizing systematic errors. We explore the use of stellar clusters as bench…

Turbulent gas-rich discs at high redshift: origin of thick stellar discs through 3D 'baryon sloshing'

Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Thor Tepper-Garcia, Oscar Agertz +8

In response to recent observations from JWST and ALMA, we explore a new class of dynamically self-consistent models using our AGAMA/Ramses hydrodynamic N-body framework (Nexus) tha…

The GALAH Survey: Stellar parameters and abundances for 800,000 Gaia RVS spectra using GALAH DR4 and The Cannon

Pradosh Barun Das, Daniel B. Zucker, Gayandhi M. De Silva +15

Analysing stellar parameters and abundances from nearly one million Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) spectra poses challenges due to the limited spectra…

The emergence of galactic thin and thick discs across cosmic history

Takafumi Tsukui, Emily Wisnioski, Joss Bland-Hawthorn +1

Present-day disc galaxies often exhibit distinct thin and thick discs. The formation mechanisms of the two discs and the timing of their onset remain open questions. To address the…

The GALAH survey: Tracing the Milky Way's formation and evolution through RR Lyrae stars

Valentina D'Orazi, Nicholas Storm, Andrew R. Casey +39

Stellar mergers and accretion events have been crucial in shaping the evolution of the Milky Way (MW). These events have been dynamically identified and chemically characterised us…

The Gasing Pangkah Collaboration: I. Asteroseismic Identification and Characterisation of a Rapidly-Rotating Engulfment Candidate

J. M. Joel Ong, Marc Teng Yen Hon, Melinda Soares-Furtado +19

We report the discovery and characterisation of TIC 350842552 ("Zvrk"), an apparently isolated, rapidly-rotating () red giant observed by TESS in…

The GALAH survey: Elemental abundances in open clusters using joint effective temperature and surface gravity photometric priors

Kevin L. Beeson, Janez Kos, Richard de Grijs +10

The ability to measure precise and accurate stellar effective temperatures () and surface gravities () is essential in determining accurate and precise abund…

Mapping the tilt of the Milky Way bulge velocity ellipsoids with ARGOS and DR2

Iulia T. Simion, Juntai Shen, Sergey E. Koposov +4

Until the recent advent of Data Release 2 (DR2) and deep multi-object spectroscopy, it has been difficult to obtain 6-D phase space information for large numbers of stars be…

The GALAH survey: tracing the Galactic disk with Open Clusters

Lorenzo Spina, Yuan-Sen Ting, Gayandhi M. De Silva +28

Open clusters are unique tracers of the history of our own Galaxy's disk. According to our membership analysis based on \textit{Gaia} astrometry, out of the 226 potential clusters…

Separation of Stellar Populations by an Evolving Bar: Implications for the Bulge of the Milky Way

Victor P. Debattista, Melissa Ness, Oscar A. Gonzalez +3

We present a novel interpretation of the previously puzzling different behaviours of stellar populations of the Milky Way's bulge. We first show, by means of pure N-body simulation…

Evidence of Early Enrichment of the Galactic Disk by Large-Scale Winds

T. Tsujimoto, J. Bland-Hawthorn, K. C. Freeman

Large-scale homogeneous surveys of Galactic stars may indicate that the elemental abundance gradient evolves with cosmic time, a phenomenon that was not foreseen in existing models…
