Rediscovering the Milky Way with an orbit superposition approach and APOGEE data V. The disc growth and history of star formation
Bridget Ratcliffe, Sergey Khoperskov, Nathan Lee +8
The Milky Way's (MW's) star formation history (SFH) offers insight into the chronology of its assembly and the mechanisms driving its structural development. In this study, we pres…
The impact of radial migration on disk galaxy star formation histories: II. Role of bar strength, disk thickness, and merger history
J. P. Bernaldez, I. Minchev, B. Ratcliffe +7
Reconstructing the star formation history (SFH) of disk galaxies is central to understanding their growth and evolution, yet such estimates can be strongly biased by stellar radial…
The impact of radial migration on disk galaxy star formation histories I. Biases in spatially resolved estimates
I. Minchev, K. Attard, B. Ratcliffe +9
Knowledge of the spatially resolved star formation history (SFH) of disk galaxies provides crucial insight into disk assembly, quenching, and chemical evolution. However, most reco…
Bar-spiral interaction produces radial migration and star formation bursts
Léa Marques, Ivan Minchev, Bridget Ratcliffe +8
Central bars and spirals are known to strongly impact the evolution of their host galaxies, both in terms of dynamics and star formation. Their typically different pattern speeds c…
Rediscovering the Milky Way with orbit superposition approach and APOGEE data II. Chrono-chemo-kinematics of the disc
Sergey Khoperskov, Matthias Steinmetz, Misha Haywood +9
The stellar disc is the dominant luminous component of the Milky Way (MW). Although our understanding of its structure is rapidly expanding due to advances in large-scale stellar s…
Rediscovering the Milky Way with orbit superposition approach and APOGEE data I. Method validation
Sergey Khoperskov, Glenn van de Ven, Matthias Steinmetz +9
We introduce a novel orbit superposition method designed to reconstruct the stellar density structure, kinematics, and chemical abundance distribution of the entire Milky Way by le…
