The signatures of the resonances of a large Galactic bar in local velocity space

Giacomo Monari, Benoit Famaey, Arnaud Siebert +2

The second data release of the Gaia mission has revealed a very rich structure in local velocity space. In terms of in-plane motions, this rich structure is also seen as multiple r…

The escape speed curve of the Galaxy obtained from Gaia DR2 implies a heavy Milky Way

Giacomo Monari, Benoit Famaey, Ismael Carrillo +6

We measure the escape speed curve of the Milky Way based on the analysis of the velocity distribution of counter-rotating halo stars from the Gaia DR2. The distances we…

Coma Berenices: first evidence for incomplete vertical phase-mixing in local velocity space with RAVE - confirmed with Gaia DR2

G. Monari, B. Famaey, I. Minchev +15

Before the publication of the Gaia DR2 we confirmed with RAVE and TGAS an observation recently made with the GALAH survey by Quillen ey al. concerning the Coma Berenices moving gro…

Spiral arm crossings inferred from ridges in Gaia stellar velocity distributions

Alice C. Quillen, Ismael Carrillo, Friedrich Anders +7

The solar neighborhood contains disc stars that have recently crossed spiral arms in the Galaxy. We propose that boundaries in local velocity distributions separate stars that have…

Correlations between age, kinematics, and chemistry as seen by the RAVE survey

Jennifer Wojno, Georges Kordopatis, Matthias Steinmetz +20

We explore the connections between stellar age, chemistry, and kinematics across a Galactocentric distance of , using a sample of inte…
