The Milky Way total mass profile as inferred from Gaia DR2
Marius Cautun, Alejandro Benitez-Llambay, Alis J. Deason +7
We determine the Milky Way (MW) mass profile inferred from fitting physically motivated models to the Gaia DR2 Galactic rotation curve and other data. Using various hydrodynamical…
The total stellar halo mass of the Milky Way
Alis J. Deason, Vasily Belokurov, Jason L. Sanders
We measure the total stellar halo luminosity using red giant branch (RGB) stars selected from Gaia data release 2. Using slices in magnitude, colour and location on the sky, we dec…
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…
The little things matter: relating the abundance of ultrafaint satellites to the hosts' assembly history
Sownak Bose, Alis J. Deason, Vasily Belokurov +1
Ultrafaint dwarf galaxies () are relics of an early phase of galaxy formation. They contain some of the oldest and most metal-poor stars in…
Galactic Gas Flows from Halo to Disk: Tomography and Kinematics at the Milky Way's Disk-Halo Interface
Hannah V. Bish, Jessica K. Werk, J. Xavier Prochaska +4
We present a novel absorption line survey using 54 blue horizontal branch stars (BHBs) in the Milky Way halo as background sources for detecting gas flows at the disk-halo interfac…
Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. VIII. Time Variability of Emission and Absorption in NGC 5548 Based on Modeling the Ultraviolet Spectrum
G. A. Kriss, G. De Rosa, J. Ely +164
We model the ultraviolet spectra of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC~5548 obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope during the 6-month reverberation-mapping campaign in 2014. Our model of t…
