The Magellanic impact: Collision between the outer Galactic HI disk and the leading arms of the Magellanic stream
Kenji Bekki, Masashi Chiba, N. M. McClure-Griffiths
We show that collisions between the outer Galactic HI disk and the leading arms (LAs) of the Magellanic stream (MS) can create giant HI holes and chimney-like structures in the dis…
The Magellanic Squall: Gas Replenishment from the Small to Large Magellanic Cloud
Kenji Bekki, Masashi Chiba
We first show that a large amount of metal-poor gas is stripped from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and fallen into the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) during the tidal interaction…
Two Stellar Components in the Halo of the Milky Way
D. Carollo, T. C. Beers, Y. S. Lee +9
The halo of the Milky Way provides unique elemental abundance and kinematic information on the first objects to form in the Universe, which can be used to tightly constrain models…
Massive stars and globular cluster formation
Kenji Bekki, Masashi Chiba
We first present chemodynamical simulations to investigate how stellar winds of massive stars influence early dynamical and chemical evolution of forming globular clusters (GCs). I…
A Subaru/Suprime-Cam Survey of M31's spheroid along the South-East minor axis
Mikito Tanaka, Masashi Chiba, Yutaka Komiyama +2
We have used Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope to conduct a V- and I-band imaging survey of fields sampling the spheroid of the Andromeda galaxy along its south-east minor axis.…
