New kinematic map of the Milky Way bulge

Carlos Quezada, Manuela Zoccali, Elena Valenti +7

The kinematics of the Milky Way bulge is known to be complex, reflecting the presence of multiple stellar components with distinct chemical and spatial properties. In particular, t…

The VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey: Completion of the observations and legacy

R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, J. Alonso-García +143

The ESO public survey VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) surveyed the inner Galactic bulge and the adjacent southern Galactic disk from . Upon its conclusion, the c…

The imprint of clump formation at high redshift. II. The chemistry of the bulge

Victor P. Debattista, David J. Liddicott, Oscar A. Gonzalez +11

In Paper I we showed that clumps in high-redshift galaxies, having a high star formation rate density (Σ_SFR), produce disks with two tracks in the [Fe/H]-[α/Fe] chemical space, si…

The wide-field, multiplexed, spectroscopic facility WEAVE: Survey design, overview, and simulated implementation

Shoko Jin, Scott C. Trager, Gavin B. Dalton +212

WEAVE, the new wide-field, massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey facility for the William Herschel Telescope, will see first light in late 2022. WEAVE comprises a new 2-degree…

Testing for relics of past strong buckling events in edge-on galaxies: Simulation predictions and data from SG

V. Cuomo, V. P. Debattista, S. Racz +7

The short-lived buckling instability is responsible for the formation of at least some box/peanut (B/P) shaped bulges, which are observed in most massive, , barred galaxies. N…

Finding high-redshift gamma-ray bursts in tandem near-infrared and optical surveys

S. Campana, G. Ghirlanda, R. Salvaterra +8

The race for the most distant object in the Universe has been played by long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), star-forming galaxies and quasars. GRBs took a temporary lead with th…
