Modeling disc non-axisymmetries: multiple patterns, radial migration, and thick discs
Ivan Minchev, Benoit Famaey, Alice C. Quillen +1
Disc non-axisymmetrc components, such as spirals and central bars, are nowadays known to play an important role in shaping galactic discs. Here we use Tree-SPH N-body simulations t…
Stellar kinematical signatures of disk non-axisymmetries in the extended solar neighbourhood
Benoit Famaey, Arnaud Siebert, Ivan Minchev
Bars and spirals are among the main drivers of the secular evolution of galactic disks, and it is, thus, of prime importance to better understand their exact nature and dynamics. I…
Signatures of minor mergers in Milky Way-like disc kinematics: Ringing revisited
Facundo A. Gómez, Ivan Minchev, Álvaro Villalobos +2
By means of N-body simulations we study the response of a galactic disc to a minor merger event. We find that non-self-gravitating, spiral-like features are induced in the thick di…
Chemically tagging the Hyades stream: Does it partly originate from the Hyades cluster?
L. Pompéia, T. Masseron, B. Famaey +19
The Hyades stream has long been thought to be a dispersed vestige of the Hyades cluster. However, recent analyses of the parallax distribution, of the mass function, and of the act…
