Testing black hole space-times with the S2 star orbit: a Bayesian comparison

César Navarrete, Fernando Vázquez-Chávez, Alejandro Cruz-Osorio +1

We implement a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to obtain posterior probability distributions for the parameters of the S2 star orbit around Sagittarius A*, for seven representative…

A clustering-based search for substructures in the Galactic plane and bulge using RR Lyrae stars as tracers

N. Cristi-Cambiaso, C. Navarrete, M. Catelan +2

Although many globular clusters (GCs) have been identified in the Galaxy, their population is estimated to be incomplete, especially in regions with strong crowding and interstella…

The distant Milky Way halo from the Southern hemisphere: Characterization of the LMC-induced dynamical-friction wake

Manuel Cavieres, Julio Chanamé, Camila Navarrete +6

The infall of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) into the Milky Way's halo impacts the distribution of stars and dark matter in our Galaxy. Mapping the observational consequences of…

Relativistic tidal separation of binary stars by supermassive black holes

Luis A. Manzaneda, César O. Navarrete, Emilio Tejeda

A binary stellar system that ventures too close to a supermassive black hole can become tidally separated. In this article, we investigate the role of relativistic effects in these…

Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry

Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412

Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…

The treasure behind the haystack: MUSE analysis of five recently discovered globular clusters

F. Gran, G. Kordopatis, M. Zoccali +10

After the second data release of Gaia, the number of new globular cluster candidates has increased importantly. However, most of them need to be properly characterised, both spectr…
