Spiral arms across stellar populations in simulations via the local dimension method

J. Ardèvol, M. Semczuk, T. Antoja +3

Context. The origin and nature of spiral arms remain unclear. Star forming regions and young stars are generally strongly associated to the spiral structure, but there are few quan…

Dynamics of tidal spiral arms: Machine learning-assisted identification of equations and application to the Milky Way

Marcel Bernet, Pau Ramos, Teresa Antoja +4

Understanding the spiral arms of the Milky Way (MW) remains a key open question in galactic dynamics. Tidal perturbations, such as the recent passage of the Sagittarius dwarf galax…

Dark matter spiral arms in Milky Way-like halos

Marcel Bernet, Pau Ramos, Teresa Antoja +9

The coupling between the dark matter (DM) halo and the stellar disc is a key factor in galactic evolution. While the interaction between structures like the Galactic bar and DM hal…

A non-axisymmetric potential for the Milky Way disk

Y. R. Khalil, B. Famaey, G. Monari +9

We provide a purely dynamical global map of the non-axisymmetric structure of the Milky Way disk. For this, we exploit the information contained within the in-plane motions of disk…

Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry

Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412

Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…

KRATOS: A large suite of N-body simulations to interpret the stellar kinematics of LMC-like discs

Ó. Jiménez-Arranz, S. Roca-Fàbrega, M. Romero-Gómez +4

We present KRATOS, a comprehensive suite of 28 open access pure N-body simulations of isolated and interacting LMC-like galaxies, to study the formation of substructures in their d…

Radial and azimuthal gradients of the moving groups in Gaia DR3: The slow/fast bar degeneracy problem

Marcel Bernet, Pau Ramos, Teresa Antoja +2

The structure and dynamics of the central bar of the Milky Way are still under debate whilst being fundamental ingredients for the evolution of our Galaxy. The recent Gaia DR3 offe…

Gaia Focused Product Release: Sources from Service Interface Function image analysis -- Half a million new sources in omega Centauri

Gaia Collaboration, K. Weingrill, A. Mints +400

Gaia's readout window strategy is challenged by very dense fields in the sky. Therefore, in addition to standard Gaia observations, full Sky Mapper (SM) images were recorded for ni…

Gaia Focused Product Release: Asteroid orbital solution. Properties and assessment

Gaia Collaboration, P. David, F. Mignard +2

Context. We report the exploitation of a sample of epoch astrometry for 157 000 asteroids, the same object in the Gaia Data Release 3, extended over the time coverage planned for t…

Gaia Focused Product Release: A catalogue of sources around quasars to search for strongly lensed quasars

Gaia Collaboration, A. Krone-Martins, C. Ducourant +398

Context. Strongly lensed quasars are fundamental sources for cosmology. The Gaia space mission covers the entire sky with the unprecedented resolution of " in the optical, ma…

Gaia Focused Product Release: Radial velocity time series of long-period variables

Gaia Collaboration, M. Trabucchi, N. Mowlavi +403

The third Gaia Data Release (DR3) provided photometric time series of more than 2 million long-period variable (LPV) candidates. Anticipating the publication of full radial-velocit…

From ridges to manifolds: 3D characterization of the moving groups in the Milky Way disc

Marcel Bernet, Pau Ramos, Teresa Antoja +4

The stellar velocity distribution in the Solar Neighbourhood displays kinematic substructures, which are possibly signatures of the bar and spiral arms of the Milky Way and of prev…
