FORS2/VLT survey of Milky Way globular clusters I. Description of the method for derivation of metal abundances in the optical and application to NGC 6528, NGC 6553, M 71, NGC 6558, NGC 6426 and Terzan 8
Bruno Dias, Beatriz Barbuy, Ivo Saviane +6
(abridged) We have observed almost 1/3 of the globular clusters in the Milky Way, targeting distant and/or highly reddened objects, besides a few reference clusters. A large sample…
Gaia on-board metrology: basic angle and best focus
A. Mora, M. Biermann, A. G. A. Brown +21
The Gaia payload ensures maximum passive stability using a single material, SiC, for most of its elements. Dedicated metrology instruments are, however, required to carry out two f…
Mapping a stellar disk into a boxy bulge: The outside-in part of the Milky Way bulge formation
P. Di Matteo, M. Haywood, A. Gomez +6
By means of idealized, dissipationless N-body simulations which follow the formation and subsequent buckling of a stellar bar, we study the characteristics of boxy/peanut-shaped bu…
Metallicity and kinematics of the bar in-situ
C. Babusiaux, D. Katz, V. Hill +11
Constraints on the Galactic bulge/bar structure and formation history from stellar kinematics and metallicities mainly come from relatively high-latitude fields (|b|>4) where a com…
The dominant epoch of star formation in the Milky Way formed the thick disc
Owain N. Snaith, Misha Haywood, Paola Di Matteo +4
We report the first robust measurement of the Milky Way star formation history using the imprint left on chemical abundances of long-lived stars. The formation of the Galactic thic…
