Understanding the Origin and Dynamical Evolution of the Unique Open Star Cluster Berkeley 20 using FIRE Simulations
Alessa I. Wiggins, Jamie R. Quinn, Micah Oeur +11
Open clusters (OCs) act as key probes that can be leveraged to constrain the formation and evolution of the Milky Way (MW)'s disk, as each has a unique chemical fingerprint and wel…
Counterculture Stars: Slow and Retrograde Stars with Low-Alpha Disk Abundances
Carrie Filion, Michael S. Petersen, Danny Horta +3
The Milky Way is home to a thin disk that can be defined via kinematics and/or elemental abundances. The elemental abundance-defined thin disk, also called the low-alpha disk, is g…
Secular Attrition of Classical Bulges by Stellar Bars
Rachel Lee McClure, Tobias Géron, Elena D'Onghia +5
Classical bulges and stellar bars are common features in disk galaxies and serve as key tracers of galactic evolution. Angular momentum exchange at bar resonances drives secular mo…
The Impact of Bars, Spirals and Bulge-Size on Gas-Phase Metallicity Gradients in MaNGA Galaxies
M. E. Wisz, Karen L. Masters, Kathryne J. Daniel +2
As galaxies evolve over time, the orbits of their constituent stars are expected to change in size and shape, moving stars away from their birth radius. Radial gas flows are also e…
