The detection of solid phosphorus and fluorine in the dust from the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

Esko Gardner, Harry J. Lehto, Kirsi Lehto +7

Here, we report the detection of phosphorus and fluorine in solid particles collected from the inner coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko measured with the COmetary Secondary Io…

N-body simulation insights into the X-shaped bulge of the Milky Way: Kinematics and distance to the Galactic Centre

Esko Gardner, Victor P. Debattista, Annie C. Robin +2

Using simulations of box/peanut- (B/P-) shaped bulges, we explore the nature of the X-shape of the Milky Way's bulge. An X-shape can be associated with a B/P-shaped bulge driven by…

The effect of the Solar motion on the flux of long-period comets

E. Gardner, P. Nurmi, C. Flynn +1

The long-term dynamics of Oort cloud comets are studied under the influence of both the radial and the vertical components of the Galactic tidal field. Sporadic dynamical perturbat…

Probing the Galaxy's bars via the Hercules stream

Esko Gardner, Chris Flynn

It has been suggested that a resonance between a rotating bar and stars in the solar neighbourhood can produce the so called 'Hercules stream'. Recently, a second bar may have been…

Dynamical effects of the long bar in the Milky Way

Esko Gardner, Kimmo A. Innanen, Chris Flynn

We examine the dynamical effects on disk stars of a "long bar" in the Milky Way by inserting a triaxial rotating bar into an axisymmetric disk+bulge+dark halo potential and integra…

A comprehensive comparison of the Sun to other stars: searching for self-selection effects

Jose A. Robles, Charles H. Lineweaver, Daniel Grether +5

If the origin of life and the evolution of observers on a planet is favoured by atypical properties of a planet's host star, we would expect our Sun to be atypical with respect to…
