Peanut-shaped metallicity distributions in bulges of edge-on galaxies: the case of NGC 4710
Oscar A. Gonzalez, Victor P. Debattista, Melissa Ness +2
Bulges of edge-on galaxies are often boxy/peanut-shaped (B/PS), and unsharp masks reveal the presence of an X shape. Simulations show that these shapes can be produced by dynamical…
The GALAH Survey: Observational Overview and Gaia DR1 companion
Sarah Martell, Sanjib Sharma, Sven Buder +30
The Galactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH) Survey is a massive observational project to trace the Milky Way's history of star formation, chemical enrichment, stellar migration an…
A radial age gradient in the geometrically thick disk of the Milky Way
Marie Martig, Ivan Minchev, Melissa Ness +2
In the Milky Way, the thick disk can be defined using individual stellar abundances, kinematics, or age; or geometrically, as stars high above the mid-plane. In nearby galaxies, wh…
Dynamical modelling of the Galactic bulge and bar: the Milky Way's bar pattern speed, stellar, and dark matter mass distribution
Matthieu Portail, Ortwin Gerhard, Christopher Wegg +1
We construct a large set of dynamical models of the galactic bulge, bar and inner disk using the Made-to-Measure method. Our models are constrained to match the red clump giant den…
The X-Shaped Milky Way Bulge in OGLE-III Photometry and in N-Body Models
David M. Nataf, Andrzej Udalski, Jan Skowron +11
We model the split red clump of the Galactic bulge in OGLE-III photometry, and compare the results to predictions from two N-body models. Our analysis yields precise maps of the br…
Dissecting galactic bulges in space and time I: the importance of early formation scenarios vs. secular evolution
M. K. Seidel, R. Cacho, T. Ruiz-Lara +7
The details of bulge formation via collapse, mergers, secular processes or their interplay remain unresolved. To start answering this question and quantify the importance of distin…
