Origin of the Metallicity Distribution in the Thick Disc
Maider S. Miranda, Kate Pilkington, Brad K. Gibson +9
Aims. Using a suite of cosmological chemodynamical disc galaxy simulations, we assess how (a) radial metallicity gradients evolve with scaleheight; (b) the vertical metallicity gra…
New quasars behind the Magellanic Clouds. Spectroscopic confirmation of near-infrared selected candidates
Valentin D. Ivanov, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni, Kenji Bekki +7
Quasi--stellar objects (quasars) located behind nearby galaxies provide an excellent absolute reference system for astrometric studies, but they are difficult to identify because o…
The Sensitivity of Harassment to Orbit: Mass Loss from Early-Type Dwarfs in Galaxy Clusters
Rory Smith, Ruben Sanchez-Janssen, Michael A. Beasley +11
We conduct a comprehensive numerical study of the orbital dependence of harassment on early-type dwarfs consisting of 168 different orbits within a realistic, Virgo-like cluster, v…
Galactic Chemical Evolution: Stellar Yields and the Initial Mass Function
Mercedes Mollá, Oscar Cavichia, Marta Gavilán +1
We present a set of 144 galactic chemical evolution models applied to a Milky Way analogue, computed using four sets of low and intermediate star nucleosynthetic yields, six massiv…
Galactic Archaeology and Minimum Spanning Trees
B. A. Macfarlane, B. K. Gibson, C. M. L. Flynn
Chemical tagging of stellar debris from disrupted open clusters and associations underpins the science cases for next-generation multi-object spectroscopic surveys. As part of the…
Identification of Globular Cluster Stars in RAVE data I: Application to Stellar Parameter Calibration
B. Anguiano, D. B. Zucker, R. -D. Scholz +22
We present the identification of potential members of nearby Galactic globular clusters using radial velocities from the RAdial Velocity Experiment Data Release 4 (RAVE-DR4) survey…
The imprints of the Galactic bar on the thick disk with RAVE
T. Antoja, G. Monari, A. Helmi +13
We study the kinematics of a local sample of stars, located within a cylinder of 500 pc radius centered on the Sun, in the RAVE dataset. We find clear asymmetries in the -$v_ϕ…
Simple and accurate modelling of the gravitational potential produced by thick and thin exponential disks
Rory Smith, Chris Flynn, Graeme N. Candlish +2
We present accurate models of the gravitational potential produced by a radially exponential disk mass distribution. The models are produced by combining three separate Miyamoto-Na…
