The Accretion History of the Milky Way: III. Hydrodynamical Simulations of Galactic Dwarf Galaxies at First Infall
Jianling Wang, Francois Hammer, Yanbin Yang +3
Most Milky Way dwarf galaxies are much less bound to their host than are relics of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus and Sgr. These dwarfs are expected to have fallen into the Galactic halo l…
The accretion history of the Milky Way. II. Internal kinematics of globular clusters and of dwarf galaxies
Francois Hammer, Jianling Wang, Gary A. Mamon +7
We study how structural properties of globular clusters and dwarf galaxies are linked to their orbits in the Milky Way halo. From the inner to the outer halo, orbital energy increa…
Detection of the Keplerian decline in the Milky Way rotation curve
Yongjun Jiao, Francois Hammer, Haifeng Wang +4
Our position inside the Galactic disc had prevented us from establishing an accurate rotation curve, until the advent of Gaia, whose third data release (Gaia DR3) made it possible…
Revisiting mass estimates of the Milky Way
Yongjun Jiao, Francois Hammer, Haifeng Wang +2
We use the rotation curve from Gaia data release (DR) 3 to estimate the mass of the Milky Way. We consider an Einasto density profile to model the dark matter component. We extrapo…
The Formation of Magellanic System and the total mass of Large Magellanic Cloud
Jianling Wang, Francois Hammer, Yanbin Yang +1
The Magellanic Stream is unique to sample the MW potential from ~50 kpc to 300 kpc, and is also unique in constraining the LMC mass, an increasingly important question for the Loca…
