The GECKOS survey: Assembly history of the lenticular galaxy NGC 3957

Yuchen Ding, Marie Martig, Ling Zhu +24

We analyse the assembly history of the edge-on lenticular galaxy NGC 3957 using deep integral-field spectroscopic MUSE data from the GECKOS survey. By applying a dust-corrected Mul…

SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM): The Integrated Light and Internal Rotation of Omega Centauri

Maximilian Häberle, Dmitry Bizyaev, Alina Boecker +34

The SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM) is a wide-field integral field spectroscopic survey of the Southern Milky Way plane, the Magellanic Clouds, and nearby Local Group galaxies. We…

A Long Period Stellar-Mass Black Hole Binary in Centauri

Matthew Whitaker, Evan Kerr, Anil Seth +16

Modern simulations of stellar dynamics in globular clusters peg a dominant role for stellar-mass black holes, but direct evidence for black holes in clusters remains limited. We pr…

oMEGACat. X. Shedding light on the disrupted dwarf galaxy of Omega Centauri

Stefano Souza, Nadine Neumayer, Anil C. Seth +15

Omega Centauri (Cen) is the most massive and chemically complex star cluster in the Milky Way and is widely regarded as the surviving nuclear star cluster of an accreted dwarf…

Age, Chemistry, and Kinematics of the Inner Galaxy Revealed by MUSE

Zixian Wang, Michael R. Hayden, Sanjib Sharma +3

The bar/bulge and inner disk are fundamental building blocks of the Milky Way, containing a large fraction of its stellar mass. However, stars in these regions are faint, crowded,…

oMEGACat. VI. Analysis of the overall kinematics of Omega Centauri in 3D: velocity dispersion, kinematic distance, anisotropy, and energy equipartition

Maximilian Häberle, Nadine Neumayer, Callie Clontz +15

Omega Centauri ( Cen) is the Milky Way's most massive globular cluster and is likely the stripped nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy. In this paper, we analyze Cen's kinema…

Towards Understanding the Milky Way's Typicality: Assessing the Chemodynamics of M31's Bulge & Bar, Thick & Thin Discs

Benjamin J. Gibson, Gail Zasowski, Anil Seth +6

We describe a novel framework to model galaxy spectra with two cospatial stellar populations, such as may represent a bulge & bar or thick & thin disc, and apply it to APOGEE spect…

Validating full-spectrum fitting with a synthetic integral-field spectroscopic observation of the Milky Way

Zixian Wang, Michael R. Hayden, Sanjib Sharma +5

Ongoing deep IFS observations of disk galaxies provide opportunities for comparison with the Milky Way (MW) to understand galaxy evolution. However, such comparisons are marred by…
