The LMC Corona Favors a First Passage

Scott Lucchini, Jiwon Jesse Han, Sapna Mishra +1

We use constrained idealized simulations of the LMC/Milky Way interaction to determine if the size of the LMC's gaseous halo (Corona) can be used to distinguish between first and s…

Threading the Magellanic Needle: Hypervelocity Stars Trace the Past Location of the LMC

Scott Lucchini, Jiwon Jesse Han

Recent discoveries have shown that a population of hypervelocity stars (HVSs) originate from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We use three such HVSs as dynamical tracers to constr…

Backlighting young stellar objects in the Central Molecular Zone: an ensemble-averaged abundance structure of methanol ices

Yewon Kang, Deokkeun An, Jiwon Han +5

The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) contains a substantial reservoir of dense molecular gas, where numerous young stellar objects (YSOs) and dense cloud cores have been identified. Ho…

Invisible Accretion: Ionized Envelopes of TNG50 HVCs can Sustain Star Formation

Scott Lucchini, Jiwon Jesse Han, Lars Hernquist +2

Galactic high-velocity clouds (HVCs) are known to be complex, multiphase systems consisting of neutral and/or ionized gas moving at high velocities relative to the rotation of the…

Exploring the interaction between the MW and LMC with a large sample of blue horizontal branch stars from the DESI survey

Amanda Byström, Sergey E. Koposov, Sophia Lilleengen +42

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a Milky Way (MW) satellite that is massive enough to gravitationally attract the MW disc and inner halo, causing significant motion of the inner…

Nearby stellar substructures in the Galactic halo from DESI Milky Way Survey Year 1 Data Release

Bokyoung Kim, Sergey E. Koposov, Ting S. Li +41

We report five nearby ( kpc) stellar substructures in the Galactic halo from a subset of 138,661 stars in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Mi…
