Unveiling the Milky Way with a Gaia DR3 census of OB-type stars within 2 kpc. I. Tracing local Galactic structure, massive star-forming regions and core-collapse supernova progenitors
Alexis L. Quintana, Kiril Maltsev, Eloisa Poggio +10
O- and B-type stars are young and hot, thereby serving as vital tracers of the star formation and spiral arm structure of the Milky Way. At the dusk of the \textit{Gaia} DR3 era, a…
The origin of strong -element bimodalities in FIRE simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies
Megan Barry, Andrew Wetzel, Sarah Loebman +2
One of the Milky Way's characteristic features is a strongly bimodal distribution of -process elements, such as Mg, at fixed [Fe/H] in stellar abundances. We examine patterns in…
Understanding the Origin and Dynamical Evolution of the Unique Open Star Cluster Berkeley 20 using FIRE Simulations
Alessa I. Wiggins, Jamie R. Quinn, Micah Oeur +11
Open clusters (OCs) act as key probes that can be leveraged to constrain the formation and evolution of the Milky Way (MW)'s disk, as each has a unique chemical fingerprint and wel…
Effect of gas accretion on -element bimodality in Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE-2 simulations
Hanna Parul, Jeremy Bailin, Sarah R. Loebman +3
We analyse the stellar distributions on the [Fe/H]-[Mg/Fe] plane for 11 Milky Way-mass galaxies from the FIRE-2 cosmological baryonic zoom-in simulations. Alpha-element bimodality,…
Strong Chemical Tagging in FIRE: Intra and Inter-Cluster Chemical Homogeneity in Open Clusters in Milky Way-like Galaxy Simulations
Binod Bhattarai, Sarah R. Loebman, Melissa K. Ness +4
Open star clusters are the essential building blocks of the Galactic disk; "strong chemical tagging" - the premise that all star clusters can be reconstructed given chemistry infor…
The imprint of bursty star formation on alpha-element abundance patterns in Milky Way-like galaxies
Hanna Parul, Jeremy Bailin, Andrew Wetzel +5
Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE-2 simulations demonstrate two main modes of star formation. At high redshifts star formation occurs in a series of short and intense bursts, whi…
