Characterizing the velocity anisotropy of the Milky Way's stellar halo
F. O. Barbosa, A. Pérez-Villegas, S. Rossi +6
Modeling the Milky Way stellar halo requires well-determined density and velocity anisotropy profiles. However, it has been challenging to gather a large sample of stars with six-d…
GASTRO library II: Exploring Chemical Bimodalities in Disk Galaxies with GSE-like Mergers and Massive Star-forming Clumps
João A. S. Amarante, Chervin F. P. Laporte, Victor P. Debattista +10
We use several smoothed particle hydrodynamics+N-body models as part of the GASTRO library to study the role of high-density star-forming clumpy regions and a single merger on the…
The Low- Splash Population in the Milky Way
Lais Borbolato, João A. S. Amarante, Hélio D. Perottoni +5
The Milky Way in-situ halo, also known as the Splash, consists of old (Age 10 Gyr), metal-rich ([Fe/H] ), high- stars, i.e., thick disk-like chemistry, on halo-like…
Early Co-formation of the Milky Way's Thin and Thick Disks at Redshift z > 2
Lais Borbolato, Silvia Rossi, Hélio D. Perottoni +8
The Milky Way serves as a template for understanding the formation and evolution of late-type massive disk galaxies since we can obtain detailed chemical and kinematic information…
