A new stellar chemo-kinematic relation reveals the merger history of the Milky Way disc
I. Minchev, C. Chiappini, M. Martig +27
The velocity dispersions of stars near the Sun are known to increase with stellar age, but age can be difficult to determine so a proxy like the abundance of alpha elements (e.g.,…
The RAVE survey: the Galactic escape speed and the mass of the Milky Way
T. Piffl, C. Scannapieco, J. Binney +22
We construct new estimates on the Galactic escape speed at various Galactocentric radii using the latest data release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE DR4). Compared to prev…
Stellar haloes in Milky-Way mass galaxies: From the inner to the outer haloes
P. Tissera, T. Beers, D. Carollo +1
We present a comprehensive study of the chemical properties of the stellar haloes of Milky-Way mass galaxies, analysing the transition between the inner to the outer haloes. We fin…
Towards a more realistic population of bright spiral galaxies in cosmological simulations
Michael Aumer, Simon White, Thorsten Naab +1
We present an update to the multiphase SPH galaxy formation code by Scannapieco et al. We include a more elaborate treatment of the production of metals, cooling rates based on ind…
Stellar haloes of simulated Milky Way-like galaxies: Chemical and kinematic properties
P. B. Tissera, C. Scannapieco, T. Beers +1
We investigate the chemical and kinematic properties of the diffuse stellar haloes of six simulated Milky Way-like galaxies from the Aquarius Project. Binding energy criteria are a…
