Two major accretion epochs in M31 from two distinct populations of globular clusters

Dougal Mackey, Geraint F. Lewis, Brendon J. Brewer +12

Large galaxies grow through the accumulation of dwarf galaxies. In principle it is possible to trace this growth history using the properties of a galaxy's stellar halo. Previous i…

4MOST: Project overview and information for the First Call for Proposals

R. S. de Jong, O. Agertz, A. Agudo Berbel +335

We introduce the 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST), a new high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under development for the four-metre-class Vis…

The merger that led to the formation of the Milky Way's inner stellar halo and thick disk

Amina Helmi, Carine Babusiaux, Helmer H. Koppelman +3

The assembly process of our Galaxy can be retrieved using the motions and chemistry of individual stars. Chemo-dynamical studies of the nearby halo have long hinted at the presence…
