Dynamical evolution of stellar binaries in galactic centers
Mark Dodici, Scott Tremaine, Yanqin Wu
Stellar binaries in galactic centers are relevant to several observable phenomena, including hypervelocity stars, X-ray binaries, and mergers of stars and compact objects; however,…
Galactokinetics II: Spiral structure
Chris Hamilton, Shaunak Modak, Scott Tremaine
We present a unified theory of linear spiral structure in stellar disks. We begin by identifying the characteristic scales involved in the spiral structure problem and listing some…
Characterizing Density and Gravitational Potential Fluctuations of the Interstellar Medium
Shaunak Modak, Eve C. Ostriker, Chris Hamilton +1
Substructure in the interstellar medium (ISM) is crucial for establishing the correlation between star formation and feedback and has the capacity to significantly perturb stellar…
Galactic echoes
Rimpei Chiba, Jupiter Ding, Chris Hamilton +2
Gaia has revealed a variety of substructures in the phase space of stars in the Solar neighborhood, including the vertical `Snail' in space. Such substructures are often…
Why is the Galactic disk so cool?
Chris Hamilton, Shaunak Modak, Scott Tremaine
The bulk of old stars in the Galactic disk have migrated radially by up to several kpc in their lifetimes, yet the disk has remained relatively cool, i.e., the ratio of radial heat…
The Black Hole Mass and Photometric Components of NGC 4826
Kayhan Gültekin, Karl Gebhardt, John Kormendy +6
We present IR photometry and HST imaging and spectroscopy of Sab galaxy NGC 4826. Schwarzschild dynamical modeling is used to measure its central black hole mass . Photometric d…
