oMEGACat. X. Shedding light on the disrupted dwarf galaxy of Omega Centauri
Stefano Souza, Nadine Neumayer, Anil C. Seth +15
Omega Centauri (Cen) is the most massive and chemically complex star cluster in the Milky Way and is widely regarded as the surviving nuclear star cluster of an accreted dwar…
oMEGACat. IX. Chemical Tagging of Omega Centauri Populations with Machine-Learning-Inferred Abundances from the MUSE Spectrograph
Z. Wang, A. C. Seth, C. Clontz +14
We present chemical abundance measurements for 7,302 red giant branch stars within the half-light radius (~5') of Centauri ( Cen), derived from MUSE spectra using the neur…
oMEGACat. VIII. A Subpopulation Census of Ï Centauri
C. Clontz, A. C. Seth, Z. Wang +8
An understanding of the assembly history of the complex star cluster Omega Centauri has long been sought after, with many studies separating the stars on the color-magnitude diagra…
oMEGACat. VII. Tracing Interstellar and Intracluster Medium of Centauri using Sodium Absorptions
Z. Wang, A. C. Seth, M. Latour +14
We investigate the foreground interstellar medium along the line of sight and intracluster medium of Centauri ( Cen) by measuring the equivalent width of Na I D absorption…
oMEGACat. VI. Analysis of the overall kinematics of Omega Centauri in 3D: velocity dispersion, kinematic distance, anisotropy, and energy equipartition
Maximilian Häberle, Nadine Neumayer, Callie Clontz +15
Omega Centauri ( Cen) is the Milky Way's most massive globular cluster and is likely the stripped nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy. In this paper, we analyze Cen's kine…
Fast-moving stars around an intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri
Maximilian Häberle, Nadine Neumayer, Anil Seth +15
Black holes have been found over a wide range of masses, from stellar remnants with masses of 5-150 solar masses (Msun), to those found at the centers of galaxies with Msu…
