Capture of exocomets and the erosion of the Oort cloud due to stellar encounters in the Galaxy
Joris Hanse, Lucie Jilkova, Simon F. Portegies Zwart +1
The Oort cloud (OC) probably formed more than 4Gyr ago and has been moving with the Sun in the Galaxy since, exposed to external influences, most prominently to the Galactic ti…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: Probes of the inner disk abundance gradient
H. R. Jacobson, E. D. Friel, L. Jilkova +41
The nature of the metallicity gradient inside the solar circle (R_GC < 8 kpc) is poorly understood, but studies of Cepheids and a small sample of open clusters suggest that it stee…
Evidence of tidal distortions and mass loss from the old open cluster NGC 6791
E. Dalessandro, P. Miocchi, G. Carraro +2
We present the first evidence of clear signatures of tidal distortions in the density distribution of the fascinating open cluster NGC 6791. We used deep and wide-field data obtain…
