Chemical decoding of kinematic substructures in the Galactic halo
A. Mori, P. Di Matteo, S. Salvadori +4
In the hierarchical assembly framework, the accretion history of the Milky Way is crucial to understand its evolution. However, in massive mergers, integrals of motion are not stri…
The Milky Way as a distant galaxy: an IFU and panchromatic view
Sergey Khoperskov, Alina Boecker, Nikolay Kacharov +4
Understanding the structure and evolution of galaxies increasingly benefits from placing the Milky Way (MW), the best-studied stellar system, in an external-galaxy context. To anal…
The Nephele ecosystem: stars, globular clusters, and stellar streams associated with the progenitor galaxy of Centauri
G. Pagnini, P. Di Matteo, M. Haywood +7
Globular clusters (GCs) and their associated stellar streams are key tracers of the hierarchical assembly history of the Milky Way. Centauri, the most massive and chemically c…
The impact of radial migration on disk galaxy star formation histories: II. Role of bar strength, disk thickness, and merger history
J. P. Bernaldez, I. Minchev, B. Ratcliffe +7
Reconstructing the star formation history (SFH) of disk galaxies is central to understanding their growth and evolution, yet such estimates can be strongly biased by stellar radial…
Milky Way disc & Bulge in situ populations: ESO white paper - Expanding horizons call
M. Bergemann, G. Kordopatis, G. Casali +11
The formation and evolution of the Milky Way's disc, bar, and bulge remain fundamentally limited by the lack of a contiguous, Galaxy-wide, high-precision chemo-dynamical map. Key o…
The impact of radial migration on disk galaxy star formation histories I. Biases in spatially resolved estimates
I. Minchev, K. Attard, B. Ratcliffe +9
Knowledge of the spatially resolved star formation history (SFH) of disk galaxies provides crucial insight into disk assembly, quenching, and chemical evolution. However, most reco…
