Deciphering the Milky Way's star formation at cosmic noon with high proper-motion stars: A precursor to the merger-driven starburst
Deokkeun An, Young Sun Lee, Yutaka Hirai +1
Evidence suggests that the Milky Way (MW) underwent a major collision with the Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE) dwarf galaxy around cosmic noon. While GSE has since been fully disrupte…
A Blueprint for the Milky Way's Stellar Populations. V. 3D Local Dust Extinction
Deokkeun An, Timothy C. Beers, Anirudh Chiti
Using a grid of empirically calibrated synthetic spectra developed in our previous study, we construct an all-sky 3D extinction map from the large collection of low-resolution XP s…
Chemodynamical Analysis of Metal-rich High-eccentricity Stars in the Milky Way's Disk
Ayeon Lee, Young Sun Lee, Young Kwang Kim +2
We present a chemodynamical analysis of 11,562 metal-rich, high-eccentricity halo-like main-sequence (MS) stars, which has been referred to as the Splash or Splashed Disk, selected…
A Blueprint for the Milky Way's Stellar Populations. IV. A String of Pearls the Galactic Starburst Sequence
Deokkeun An, Timothy C. Beers, Young Sun Lee +1
We continue our series of papers on phase-space distributions of stars in the Milky Way based on photometrically derived metallicities and Gaia astrometry, with a focus on the halo…
Massive Young Stellar Objects in the Galactic Center. II. Seeing Through the Ice-rich Envelopes
Dajeong Jang, Deokkeun An, Kris Sellgren +3
To study the demographics of interstellar ices in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way, we obtain near-infrared spectra of red point sources using NASA IRTF/SpeX…
A Blueprint for the Milky Way's Stellar Populations. III. Spatial Distributions and Population Fractions of Local Halo Stars
Deokkeun An, Timothy C. Beers
We analyze the observed spatial, chemical and dynamical distributions of local metal-poor stars, based on photometrically derived metallicity and distance estimates along with prop…
