Reconstructing the star formation history of the Milky Way disc(s) from chemical abundances
O. Snaith, M. Haywood, P. Di Matteo +4
We develop a chemical evolution model in order to study the star formation history of the Milky Way. Our model assumes that the Milky Way is formed from a closed box-like system in…
Why the Milky Way's bulge is not only a bar formed from a cold thin disk
P. Di Matteo, A. Gomez, M. Haywood +6
By analyzing a N-body simulation of a bulge formed simply via a bar instability mechanism operating on a kinematically cold stellar disk, and by comparing the results of this analy…
Science Case and Requirements for the MOSAIC Concept for a Multi-Object Spectrograph for the European Extremely Large Telescope
C. J. Evans, M. Puech, B. Barbuy +55
Over the past 18 months we have revisited the science requirements for a multi-object spectrograph (MOS) for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). These efforts span the…
Mapping a stellar disk into a boxy bulge: The outside-in part of the Milky Way bulge formation
P. Di Matteo, M. Haywood, A. Gomez +6
By means of idealized, dissipationless N-body simulations which follow the formation and subsequent buckling of a stellar bar, we study the characteristics of boxy/peanut-shaped bu…
