The Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc: A dynamically cool and metal-rich component formed from the Central Molecular Zone?
M. Schultheis, T. K. Fritz, G. Nandakumar +10
The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) is, together with the nuclear star cluster (NSC) and the central massive black hole, one of the main components in the central parts of our Milky Way…
Constraining the population of isolated massive stars within the Central Molecular Zone
J. S. Clark, L. R. Patrick, F. Najarro +2
Many galaxies host pronounced circumnuclear starbursts, fuelled by infalling gas. Such activity is expected to drive the secular evolution of the nucleus and generate super winds,…
A KMOS survey of the nuclear disk of the Milky Way I: Survey design and metallicities
Tobias K. Fritz, Lee Patrick, Anja Feldmeier-Krause +7
In the central few degrees of the bulge of the Milky Way there is a flattened structure of gas, dust and stars (the central molecular zone) similar to nuclear disks in other galaxi…
The Pristine survey X: a large population of low-metallicity stars permeates the Galactic disk
Federico Sestito, Nicolas F. Martin, Else Starkenburg +26
The orbits of the least chemically enriched stars open a window on the formation of our Galaxy when it was still in its infancy. The common picture is that these low-metallicity st…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: XXXI. Radial velocities and multiplicity constraints of red supergiant stars in 30 Doradus
L. R. Patrick, D. J. Lennon, N. Britavskiy +10
The incidence of multiplicity in cool, luminous massive stars is relatively unknown compared to their hotter counterparts. Here we present radial velocity (RV) measurements and inv…
Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: massive star clusters in M83, and the mass-metallicity relation of nearby galaxies
Ben Davies, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, Carmela Lardo +6
We present an abundance analysis of seven super-star clusters in the disk of M83. The near-infrared spectra of these clusters are dominated by Red Supergiants, and the spectral sim…
