The Merger-Driven Origin of the Vast Extended Stellar Disc Around the Andromeda Galaxy
C. Tsakonas, M. Arnaboldi, F. Hammer +4
The closest giant spiral, the Andromeda galaxy (M31), shows compelling evidence for a recent, gas-rich major merger event. Pronounced substructures in its inner halo and a kinemati…
Mapping gravity in stellar nurseries -- establishing the effectiveness of 2D acceleration maps
Zhen-Zhen He, Guang-Xing Li, Andreas Burkert
Gravity is the driving force of star formation. Although gravity is caused by the presence of matter, its role in complex regions is still unsettled. One effective way to study the…
Filament fragmentation: Density gradients suppress end dominated collapse
Elena Hoemann, Stefan Heigl, Andreas Burkert
The onset of star formation is set by the collapse of filaments in the interstellar medium. From a theoretical point of view, an isolated cylindrical filament forms cores via the e…
The Orbital Structure and Selection Effects of the Galactic Center S-Star Cluster
Andreas Burkert, Stefan Gillessen, Douglas N. C. Lin +4
The orbital distribution of the S-star cluster surrounding the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way is analyzed. A tight, roughly exponential dependence of the pe…
Testing the galaxy collision induced formation scenario for the trail of dark matter deficient galaxies with the susceptibility of globular clusters to the tidal force
Go Ogiya, Frank C. van den Bosch, Andreas Burkert +1
It has been suggested that a trail of diffuse galaxies, including two dark matter deficient galaxies (DMDGs), in the vicinity of NGC1052 formed because of a high-speed collision be…
Characterizing the 3D Kinematics of Young Stars in the Radcliffe Wave
Alan J. Tu, Catherine Zucker, Joshua S. Speagle +5
We present an analysis of the kinematics of the Radcliffe Wave, a 2.7-kpc-long sinusoidal band of molecular clouds in the solar neighborhood recently detected via 3D dust mapping.…
