Enhanced rates of stellar radial migration in gas-rich discs at high redshift

HanYuan Zhang, Thor Tepper-García, Vasily Belokurov +6

Radial migration and dynamical heating redistribute stars within galactic discs and thereby modify the chemo-kinematic structure of their host galaxies. Usually, these secular proc…

Geometry of the Milky Way's dark matter from dynamical models of the tilted stellar halo

Adam M. Dillamore, Jason L. Sanders

The shape and orientation of the Milky Way's dark matter halo remain poorly constrained. Observations of the accreted stellar halo show that it is triaxial and tilted with respect…

ChemZz I: Comparing Oxygen and Iron Abundance Patterns in the Milky Way, the Local Group and Cosmic Noon

Stephanie Monty, Allison L. Strom, Thomas M. Stanton +7

Our understanding of the chemical evolution of galaxies has advanced through measurements from both distant galaxies across redshift, and our own Milky Way (MW). To form a comprehe…

Bar-driven dispersal of Galactic substructure

Adam M. Dillamore, Jason L. Sanders

Galactic archaeologists often assume that integrals of motion (IoMs) such as and are conserved, so substructure remains frozen in IoM space over many Gyr. However, this i…

Denoising Milky Way stellar survey data with normalizing flow models

Ziyang Yan, Jason L. Sanders

The Gaia dataset has revealed many intricate Milky Way substructures in exquisite detail, including moving groups and the phase spiral. Precise characterisation of these features a…

Observational Constraints of Radial Migration in the Galactic Disc Driven by the Slowing Bar

HanYuan Zhang, Vasily Belokurov, N. Wyn Evans +7

Radial migration is an important dynamical effect that has reshaped the Galactic disc, but its origin has yet to be elucidated. In this work, we present evidence that resonant drag…

Dynamical streams in the local stellar halo

Adam M. Dillamore, Jason L. Sanders, Vasily Belokurov +1

Co-moving groups of stars (streams) are well known in the velocity space of the disc near the Sun. Many are thought to arise from resonances with the Galactic bar or spiral arms. I…

VIRAC2: NIR Astrometry and Time Series Photometry for 500M+ Stars from the VVV and VVVX Surveys

Leigh C. Smith, Philip W. Lucas, Sergey E. Koposov +11

We present VIRAC2, a catalogue of positions, proper motions, parallaxes and , , , , and near-infrared photometric time series of 545 346 537 unique stars. The cat…
