Extreme (Rogue) Waves: From Theory to Experiments in Ultracold Gases and Beyond

A. Chabchoub, P. Engels, P. G. Kevrekidis +4

In this Chapter, we review key theoretical and experimental advances in the study of extreme nonlinear wave events, called rogue waves (RWs), in both single-component attractively…

The primordial nature of the C-19 stellar stream

Kim A. Venn, Zhen Yuan, Nicolas F. Martin +32

Stellar streams, remnants of compact star systems stretched out by the tidal forces of the Milky Way, offer a unique way to study stellar populations that formed billions of years…

GHOST commissioning science results -- IV: Chemodynamical analyses of Milky Way satellites Sagittarius II and Aquarius II

Daria Zaremba, Kim Venn, Christian R. Hayes +28

We present Gemini/GHOST high-resolution spectra of five stars observed in two low surface brightness Milky Way satellites, Sagittarius II (Sgr2) and Aquarius II (Aqu2). For Aqu2, t…
