Snapshots of r-process production in the Milky Way disk

Sarah G. Kane, Stephanie Monty, Madeleine McKenzie +9

Stars enhanced in heavy neutron capture elements like europium (Eu) provide a window into the rarest and most exotic nucleosynthetic events. Most Eu-enhanced stars discovered thus…

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…

A value-added catalogue of neural network-based europium abundances for GALAH DR4

Sarah G. Kane, Zofia Kaczmarek, Andrew Garner +3

The rapid neutron-capture (-process) element europium (Eu) is a valuable tracer of neutron star mergers and other rare nucleosynthetic events. The stellar spectroscopic survey G…

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…

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…

Blind source separation of the stellar halo

Elliot Y. Davies, Vasily Belokurov, Andrey Kravtsov +4

The stellar halo of the Milky Way comprises an abundance of chemical signatures from accretion events and \textit{in-situ} evolution, that form an interweaving tapestry in kinemati…

Predicting metallicities and carbon abundances from Gaia XP spectra for (carbon-enhanced) metal-poor stars

Anke Ardern-Arentsen, Sarah G. Kane, Vasily Belokurov +4

Carbon-rich (C-rich) stars can be found at all metallicities and evolutionary stages. They are often the result of mass-transfer from a companion, but some of the most metal-poor C…

The ones that got away: chemical tagging of globular cluster-origin stars with Gaia BP/RP spectra

Sarah G. Kane, Vasily Belokurov, Miles Cranmer +4

Globular clusters (GCs) are sites of extremely efficient star formation, and recent studies suggest they significantly contributed to the early Milky Way's stellar mass build-up. A…

Kinematics and dynamics of the Galactic bar revealed by Gaia long-period variables

Hanyuan Zhang, Vasily Belokurov, N. Wyn Evans +2

We use low-amplitude, long period variable (LA-LPV) candidates in \textit{Gaia} DR3 to trace the kinematics and dynamics of the Milky Way bar. LA-LPVs, like other LPVs, are intrins…
