Disentangling the Morphology of Palomar~5: Effects of the Bar, Spiral Arms, LMC, and Halo Flattening

Zhenghao He, Long Wang, Zi-yi Zhou +2

The Palomar~5 (Pal~5) globular cluster and its tidal tails provide a sensitive probe of globular-cluster evolution in the time-dependent Milky Way potential. We study the past 3~Gy…

Constraining the Galactic bar and spiral pattern speeds with the Hyades tidal stream

Zi-yi Zhou, Long Wang, Tereza Jerabkova +1

We present a suite of direct -body simulations of the Hyades open cluster and its tidal stream in a Milky Way potential that includes a rotating bar and spiral arms. Using the h…

Stellar-mass black holes in the Hyades star cluster?

Stefano Torniamenti, Mark Gieles, Zephyr Penoyre +3

Astrophysical models of binary-black hole mergers in the Universe require a significant fraction of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) to receive negligible natal kicks to explain the…

Compact Binary Formation in Open Star Clusters I: High Formation Efficiency of Gaia BHs and Their Multiplicities

Ataru Tanikawa, Savannah Cary, Minori Shikauchi +2

Gaia BHs, black hole (BH) binaries discovered from database of an astrometric telescope Gaia, pose a question to the standard binary evolution model. We have assessed if Gaia BHs c…

Tidal disruption of stellar clusters and their remnants' spatial distribution near the galactic center

Long Wang, D. N. C. Lin

The accretion of massive star clusters via dynamical friction has previously been established to be a likely scenario for the build up of nuclear stellar clusters (NSCs). A remaini…

Dynamical Origin for the Collinder 132-Gulliver 21 Stream: A Mixture of three Co-Moving Populations with an Age Difference of 250 Myr

Xiaoying Pang, Yuqian Li, Shih-Yun Tang +6

We use Gaia DR3 data to study the Collinder 132-Gulliver 21 region via the machine learning algorithm StarGO, and find eight subgroups of stars (ASCC 32, Collinder 132 gp 1--6, Gul…
