Metallicity-dependent kinematics and orbits in the Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc

F. Nogueras-Lara, N. Nieuwmunster, M. Schultheis +7

The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) is a flat and dense stellar structure at the centre of the Milky Way. Previous work has identified the presence of metal-rich and metal-poor stars in…

Orbital analysis of stars in the nuclear stellar disc of the Milky Way

N. Nieuwmunster, M. Schultheis, M. Sormani +4

While orbital analysis studies were so far mainly focused on the Galactic halo, it is possible now to do these studies in the heavily obscured region close to the Galactic Centre.…

Composition of Giants 1 North of the Galactic Center: Detailed Abundance Trends for 21 Elements Observed with IGRINS

Govind Nandakumar, Nils Ryde, Gregory Mace +10

We report the first high resolution, detailed abundances of 21 elements for giants in the Galactic bulge/bar within of the Galactic plane, where high extinction has rende…

Smooth kinematic and metallicity gradients reveal that the Milky Way's nuclear star cluster and disc might be part of the same structure

F. Nogueras-Lara, A. Feldmeier-Krause, R. Schödel +7

The innermost regions of most galaxies are characterised by the presence of extremely dense nuclear star clusters. Nevertheless, these clusters are not the only stellar component p…

Detailed abundance trends in the inner Galactic bulge

N. Nieuwmunster, G. Nandakumar, E. Spitoni +7

In this paper, we aim to derive high-precision alpha-element abundances using CRIRES high-resolution IR spectra of 72 cool M giants of the inner Galactic bulge. Silicon, magnesium,…

The first r-process enhanced star confirmed to be a member of the Galactic bulge

R. Forsberg, R. M. Rich, N. Nieuwmunster +4

Aims. Stars with strong enhancements of r-process elements are rare and tend to be metal-poor, with generally [Fe/H] <-2 dex and found in the halo. In this work we aim to investiga…
