Disentangling chemical evolution histories with phylogenetic trees
Rebeca Canales, Paula Jofré, Claudia Aguilera-Gómez +6
Chemical abundances encode the fossil record of galaxy evolution in a complex and diverse way that requires innovative approaches to reconstruct galactic histories. We investigate…

A North-South Metallicity Asymmetry in the Outer Galactic disk -- Evidence for the Pericentric Passage of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy
Chun Wang, Yang Huang, Timothy C. Beers +4
We present maps of the mean metallicity distributions on the Galactocentric -- plane at different azimuthal angles using red clump stars selected from the LAMOST and APOGEE s…

Studying stellar populations in Omega Centauri with phylogenetics
P. Jofré, C. Aguilera-Gómez, P. Villarreal +14
The nature and formation history of our Galaxy's largest and most enigmatic stellar cluster, known as Omega Centauri (ocen) remains debated. Here, we offer a novel approach to dise…
