Gaia FGK Benchmark Stars: Selecting Infrared Lines for Abundance Determination
Scarlet Elgueta, Paula Jofré, Claudia Aguilera-Gómez +7
The advent of new and more powerful infrared spectrographs has significantly motivated the advancement of the study of atomic and molecular line lists and stellar atmosphere models…
Globular clusters in \textsc{OrbIT}: complete dynamical characterisation of the globular cluster population of the Milky Way through updated orbital reconstruction
Michele De Leo, Manuela Zoccali, Julio Olivares-Carvajal +3
In hierarchical structure formation, the content of a galaxy is determined both by its in-situ processes and by material added via accretions. Globular clusters in particular repre…
The JWST Galactic Center Survey -- A White Paper
Rainer Schoedel, Steve Longmore, Jonny Henshaw +111
The inner hundred parsecs of the Milky Way hosts the nearest supermassive black hole, largest reservoir of dense gas, greatest stellar density, hundreds of massive main and post ma…
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 Milky Way Bulge
Manuela Zoccali, Elena Valenti
This chapter reviews the three-dimensional structure, age, kinematics, and chemistry of the Milky Way (MW) region within ~2 kpc from its center (hereafter referred to as the 'bulge…
Unveiling VVV/WISE Mira variables on the far side of the Galactic disk: Distances, kinematics and a new extinction law
Rogelio AlbarracÃn, M. Zoccali, J. Olivares Carvajal +8
The structure and kinematics of the Milky Way disk are largely inferred from the solar vicinity. To gain a comprehensive understanding, it is essential to find reliable tracers in…
