A two-stage settling of the Milky Way disk revealed by precise ChronoGal ages
David Mirabal, Carme Gallart, Tomás Ruiz-Lara +9
The spatial distribution of Galactic disk stars of different ages and metallicities encodes its dynamical evolution history and formation pathways. The lack of precise ages for lar…

Fernando Aguado-Agelet, Chiara Zerbinati, Davide Massari +9
We present a new age determination of 24 globular clusters (GCs) dynamically associated with the main accretion events experienced by the Milky Way (MW), as part of the Cluster Age…
ALMA CO-CAVITY II. Resolved Scaling Relations in Void Galaxies
S. B. De Daniloff, D. Espada, S. Duarte Puertas +22
Scaling relations involving star formation rates (SFRs), molecular gas mass, and stellar mass are key to understand galaxy evolution, and have previously been explored at resolved…
The Gas-Phase Mass-Metallicity Relation of Dwarf Galaxies Across Large-Scale Environments Using the CAVITY Parent Sample
Bahar Bidaran, Salvador Duarte Puertas, Isabel Pérez +13
The gas-phase mass-metallicity relation (MZR) of galaxies shows a noticeable break in slope and increased scatter at low stellar masses, suggesting that the physical processes gove…
ALMA CO-CAVITY I. Resolved Molecular Gas in Void Galaxies
D. Espada, S. B. De Daniloff, S. Duarte Puertas +21
The environment plays a key role in galaxy evolution, yet it remains unclear how detailed molecular gas properties and their connection to star formation and stellar content are in…
The CAVITY project. The spatially resolved SFR of galaxies in voids
Ana M. Conrado, Rubén García-Benito, Rosa M. González Delgado +24
The mass in the Universe is distributed non-uniformly, originating the Large Scale Structure (LSS), characterised by clusters, filaments, walls and voids. Galaxies in voids are blu…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Resolved Stellar Populations Studies in M31 and its Satellites
C. Gallart, E. Fernández-Alvar, A. B. A. Queiroz +48
A 30 m class optical/near-IR telescope in the Northern Hemisphere, equipped for diffraction-limited imaging and high-resolution, multi-object spectroscopy of faint stars, would ena…
Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal): IV. On the inner Milky Way stellar age distribution
Tomás Ruiz-Lara, David Mirabal, Carme Gallart +15
The Milky Way's inner region is dominated by a stellar bar and a boxy-peanut shaped bulge. However, which stellar populations inhabit the inner Galaxy or how star formation proceed…
Precise Asteroseismic Ages for the Helmi Streams
Christopher J. Lindsay, Marc Hon, J. M. Joel Ong +6
The Helmi streams are remnants of a dwarf galaxy that was accreted by the Milky Way and whose stars now form a distinct kinematic and chemical substructure in the Galactic halo. Pr…
Rendezvous in CAVITY: Kinematics and gas properties of an isolated dwarf-dwarf merging pair in a cosmic void region
Bahar Bidaran, Simon de Daniloff, Isabel Pérez +17
Galaxy mergers are pivotal events in the evolutionary history of galaxies, with their impact believed to be particularly significant in dwarf galaxies. We report the serendipitous…
Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal) II. Unveiling the formation and evolution of the kinematically selected Thick and Thin Discs
Emma Fernández-Alvar, Tomás Ruiz-Lara, Carme Gallart +16
Understanding the formation and evolution of the Milky Way's thin and thick discs is crucial to galaxy formation studies. We derive age and metallicity distributions of the kinemat…
Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia CMD-fitting (ChronoGal): the early formation of the Milky Way disk and the impact of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus
C. Gallart, E. Fernández-Alvar, S. Cassisi +7
The derivation of precise stellar ages is considered the current major challenge to reconstruct the chronology of the Milky Way. Color-magnitude diagram (CMD)-fitting offers a robu…
Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal) -- III. Age and metallicity distribution of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus stars near the Sun
Yllari K. González-Koda, Tomás Ruiz-Lara, Carme Gallart +14
Context. Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus is considered the last major merger that contributed to the formation of the Milky Way. Its remnants dominate the nearby accreted stellar halo of th…

Fernando Aguado-Agelet, Davide Massari, Matteo Monelli +8
We present the age determination of 13 globular clusters dynamically associated with the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) merger event, as part of the CARMA project effort to trace the…
Chemical characterisation of small substructures in the local stellar halo
Emma Dodd, Tadafumi Matsuno, Amina Helmi +5
The local stellar halo of the Milky Way is known to contain the debris from accreted dwarf galaxies and globular clusters, in the form of stellar streams and over-densities in the…
