Orbital migration and heating history of the Galactic disc: a transition between the bimodal discs
HanYuan Zhang, Vasily Belokurov, Jason L. Sanders +7
Stellar orbits in the Galactic disc evolve from their birth to the current shape through both radial migration and dynamical heating. The history of their secular evolution is impr…
STRRINGS: STReams in Residual Images of Nearby GalaxieS
E. Sola, D. Chemaly, V. Belokurov +11
Tidal features from galaxy mergers, particularly stellar streams, offer valuable insights into galaxy assembly and dark matter halo properties. This paper aims to identify a large…
On the connection between nitrogen-enhanced field stars and the Galactic globular clusters
Sarah G. Kane, Vasily Belokurov, Stephanie Monty +6
As sites of some of the most efficient star formation in the Universe, globular clusters (GCs) have long been hypothesized to be the building blocks of young galaxies. Within the M…
Thick-to-thin disc transition and gas disc shrinking induced by the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus merger
Natsuki Funakoshi, Daisuke Kawata, Jason L. Sanders +3
Understanding the Milky Way disc formation requires characterising its structural and kinematic properties as functions of stellar age. Using red giant stars from APOGEE DR17 and G…
Observational Constraints of Radial Migration in the Galactic Disc Driven by the Slowing Bar
HanYuan Zhang, Vasily Belokurov, N. Wyn Evans +7
Radial migration is an important dynamical effect that has reshaped the Galactic disc, but its origin has yet to be elucidated. In this work, we present evidence that resonant drag…
Revealing the ages of metal-rich RR Lyrae via kinematic label transfer
HanYuan Zhang, Giuliano Iorio, Vasily Belokurov +3
RR Lyrae stars have long been considered reliable tracers of old, metal-poor populations, primarily due to their prevalence in globular clusters and the Galactic halo. However, the…
