The Age-Thickness Relation as a Tracer of the Merger History of Disk Galaxies
Lekshmi Thulasidharan, Elena D'Onghia, Robert Benjamin +2
In the hierarchical framework of galaxy formation, disk galaxies are shaped by a sequence of mergers and interactions, yet reconstructing this history from observations remains cha…
Azimuthal Misalignments in Stellar Warp Structure as Dynamical Tracers of Mergers in Milky Way-like Galaxies
Lekshmi Thulasidharan, Elena D'Onghia, Robert Benjamin
We investigate the origin of warps in stellar disks using high-resolution Milky Way analogs from the IllustrisTNG50 simulation. Focusing on galaxies that experienced a major merger…
The Age-Thickness Relation of the Milky Way Disk: A Tracer of Galactic Merging History
Lekshmi Thulasidharan, Elena D'Onghia, Robert Benjamin +3
The prevailing model of galaxy formation proposes that galaxies like the Milky Way are built through a series of mergers with smaller galaxies over time. However, the exact details…
The Great Wave: Evidence of a large-scale vertical corrugation propagating outwards in the Galactic disc
E. Poggio, S. Khanna, R. Drimmel +6
We analyse the three-dimensional structure and kinematics of two samples of young stars in the Galactic disc, containing respectively young giants (17000 stars out to he…
The Radcliffe Wave as the gas spine of the Orion Arm
Cameren Swiggum, João Alves, Elena D'Onghia +7
The Radcliffe Wave is a kpc long coherent gas structure containing most of the star-forming complexes near the Sun. In this Letter we aim to find a Galactic context for the…
Evidence of a vertical kinematic oscillation beyond the Radcliffe Wave
Lekshmi Thulasidharan, Elena D'Onghia, Eloisa Poggio +5
The Radcliffe Wave (RW) is a recently discovered sinusoidal vertical feature of dense gas in the proximity of the Sun. In the disk plane, it is aligned with the Local Arm. However,…
