A new Gaia census of OB associations within 1 kpc
Alexis L. Quintana, Nicholas J. Wright, Lilly A. Kormann +6
OB associations are primordial tracers of star formation and Galactic structure. Originally defined about 80 years ago, their historical membership lists have been superseded thank…
Comparative Silane Surface Functionalization Strategies for Enhanced Bloch Surface Wave Biosensing of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies
Agostino Occhicone, Alberto Sinibaldi, Paola Di Matteo +4
Surface functionalization plays a decisive role in the performance of biosensors, as it governs the efficiency and stability of biomolecule immobilization at the sensor interface a…
Asymmetries in stellar streams induced by a galactic merger
Claire Guillaume, Florent Renaud, Nicolas F. Martin +6
Stellar streams are sensitive to perturbations from, e.g., giant molecular clouds, bars and spiral arms, infalling dwarf galaxies, or globular clusters which can imprint gaps, clum…
Quadrupole signature as a kinematic diagnostic to constrain bar properties : implications for the Milky Way
Soumavo Ghosh, Taavet Kalda, Paola Di Matteo +4
The presence of a 'butterfly' or a quadrupole structure in the stellar mean radial velocity () field of the Milky Way is well known from the Gaia and the APOGEE surveys. Pas…
A new classification of ex-situ and in-situ Galactic globular clusters based on a method trained on Milky Way analogues in the TNG50 cosmological simulations
Pierre Boldrini, Paola Di Matteo, Chervin Laporte +3
We present a novel method combining existing cosmological simulations and orbital integration to study the hierarchical assembly of globular cluster (GC) populations in the Milky W…
Rediscovering the Milky Way with an orbit superposition approach and APOGEE data V. The disc growth and history of star formation
Bridget Ratcliffe, Sergey Khoperskov, Nathan Lee +8
The Milky Way's (MW's) star formation history (SFH) offers insight into the chronology of its assembly and the mechanisms driving its structural development. In this study, we pres…
