Interstellar Extinction Curve Variations Toward the Inner Milky Way: A Challenge to Observational Cosmology

David M. Nataf, Oscar A. Gonzalez, Luca Casagrande +18

We investigate interstellar extinction curve variations toward 4 deg of the inner Milky Way in photometry from the OGLE-III and surveys, with supportin…

A high-velocity bulge RR Lyrae variable on a halo-like orbit

Andrea Kunder, R. Michael Rich, Keith Hawkins +21

We report on the RR Lyrae variable star, MACHO 176.18833.411, located toward the Galactic bulge and observed within the data from the ongoing Bulge RR Lyrae Radial Velocity Assay (…

G2C2 - IV: A novel approach to study the radial distributions of multiple populations in Galactic globular clusters

Joachim Vanderbeke, Roberto De Propris, Sven De Rijcke +4

We use the HB morphology of 48 Galactic GCs to study the radial distributions of the different stellar populations known to exist in globular clusters. Assuming that the (extremely…

Kinematics of the X-shaped Milky Way Bulge: Expectations from a Self-consistent N-body Model

Yujing Qin, Juntai Shen, Zhao-Yu Li +5

We explore the kinematics (both the radial velocity and the proper motion) of the vertical X-shaped feature in the Milky Way with an N-body bar/bulge model. From the solar perspect…

Hydra II: a faint and compact Milky Way dwarf galaxy found in the Survey of the Magellanic Stellar History

Nicolas F. Martin, David L. Nidever, Gurtina Besla +26

We present the discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, Hydra II, found serendipitously within the data from the ongoing Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History (SMASH) conducted with the…
