Searching Extra-tidal Features around the Globular Cluster Whiting 1
Jundan Nie, Hao Tian, Jing Li +14
Whiting 1 is a faint and young globular cluster in the halo of the Milky Way, and was suggested to have originated in the Sagittarius spherical dwarf galaxy (Sgr dSph). In this pap…
A LAMOST BHB Catalog and Kinematics Therein I: Catalog and Halo Properties
John J. Vickers, Zhao-Yu Li, Martin C. Smith +1
We collect a sample of stars observed both in LAMOST and Gaia which have colors implying a temperature hotter than 7000 K. We train a machine learning algorithm on LAMOST spectrosc…
The tale of the tail -- disentangling the high transverse velocity stars in Gaia DR2
João A. S. Amarante, Martin C. Smith, Corrado Boeche
Although the stellar halo accounts for just ~1% of the total stellar mass of the Milky Way, the kinematics of halo stars encode valuable information about the origins and evolution…
The Splash without a merger
João A. S. Amarante, Leandro Beraldo e Silva, Victor P. Debattista +1
The Milky Way's progenitor experienced several merger events which left their imprints on the stellar halo, including the Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus. Recently, it has been proposed tha…
Young stars as tracers of a barred-spiral Milky Way
Alex R. Pettitt, Sarah E. Ragan, Martin C. Smith
Identifying the structure of our Galaxy has always been fraught with difficulties, and while modern surveys continue to make progress building a map of the Milky Way, there is stil…
The Biggest Splash
Vasily Belokurov, Jason L. Sanders, Azadeh Fattahi +4
Using a large sample of bright nearby stars with accurate Gaia Data Release 2 astrometry and auxiliary spectroscopy we map out the properties of the principle Galactic components s…
