The Shape of the Vertical Action Distribution Locates the Scatterers that Heat the Galactic Disc
Yuan-Sen Ting, Hans-Walter Rix
The Milky Way's stellar disc is thicker than the cold gas layer from which its stars form. What scatters stars onto orbits with greater vertical motion remains unresolved. Scattere…
SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM): The Integrated Light and Internal Rotation of Omega Centauri
Maximilian Häberle, Dmitry Bizyaev, Alina Boecker +34
The SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM) is a wide-field integral field spectroscopic survey of the Southern Milky Way plane, the Magellanic Clouds, and nearby Local Group galaxies. We…
Inferring Stellar Densities with Flexible Models I: The Distribution of RR Lyrae in the Milky Way with DR3
Madeline Lucey, Cecilia Mateu, Adrian Price-Whelan +3
Understanding the formation and evolutionary history of the Milky Way requires detailed mapping of its stellar components, which preserve fossil records of the Galaxy's assembly th…
Water absorption confirms cool atmospheres in two little red dots
Bingjie Wang, Joel Leja, Ivo Labbe +35
Little red dots (LRDs) are an abundant population of compact high-redshift sources with red rest-frame optical continua, discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Their…
Variations in the Milky Way's Stellar Mass Function at [Fe/H] < -1
Jiadong Li, Hans-Walter Rix, Yuan-Sen Ting +14
We present the first determination of the Galactic stellar mass function (MF) for low-mass stars (0.2-0.5 M_sun) at metallicities [Fe/H] < -1. A sample of ~53,000 stars was selecte…
Active galactic nuclei do not exhibit strictly sinusoidal brightness variations
Kareem El-Badry, David W. Hogg, Hans-Walter Rix
Periodic variability in active galactic nuclei (AGN) light curves has been proposed as a signature of close supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries. Recently, 181 candidate SMBH bi…
