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 GIRAFFE Inner Bulge Survey (GIBS) III. Metallicity distributions and kinematics of 26 Galactic bulge fields
M. Zoccali, S. Vasquez, O. A. Gonzalez +9
Several recent studies have demonstrated that the Galactic bulge hosts two components with different mean metallicities, and possibly different spatial distribution and kinematics.…
Discovery of RR Lyrae Stars in the Nuclear Bulge of the Milky Way
D. Minniti, R. Contreras Ramos, M. Zoccali +4
Galactic nuclei, like the one of the Milky Way, are extreme places with high stellar densities and, in most cases, hosting a supermassive black hole. One of the scenarios proposed…
