HERBS II: Detailed chemical compositions of Galactic bulge stars

L. Duong, M. Asplund, D. M. Nataf +2

This work explores the detailed chemistry of the Milky Way bulge using the HERMES spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. Here we present the abundance ratios of 13 element…

HERBS I: Metallicity and alpha enhancement along the Galactic bulge minor axis

L. Duong, M. Asplund, D. M. Nataf +3

To better understand the origin and evolution of the Milky Way bulge, we have conducted a survey of bulge red giant branch and clump stars using the HERMES spectrograph on the Angl…

The GALAH survey and Gaia DR2: dissecting the stellar disc's phase space by age, action, chemistry and location

Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Sanjib Sharma, Thor Tepper-Garcia +24

We use the second data releases of the ESA Gaia astrometric survey and the high-resolution GALAH spectroscopic survey to analyse the structure of our Galaxy's disc components. With…

The GALAH Survey and Gaia DR2: (Non)existence of five sparse high-latitude open clusters

Janez Kos, Gayandhi de Silva, Joss Bland-Hawthorn +21

Sparse open clusters can be found at high galactic latitudes where loosely populated clusters are more easily detected against the lower stellar background. Because most star forma…

The GALAH Survey: Stellar streams and how stellar velocity distributions vary with Galactic longitude, hemisphere and metallicity

Alice C. Quillen, Gayandhi De Silva, Sanjib Sharma +30

Using GALAH survey data of nearby stars, we look at how structure in the planar (u,v) velocity distribution depends on metallicity and on viewing direction within the Galaxy. In ne…

The GALAH Survey: Velocity fluctuations in the Milky Way using red clump giants

Shourya Khanna, Sanjib Sharma, Joss Bland-Hawthorn +20

If the Galaxy is axisymmetric and in dynamical equilibrium, we expect negligible fluctuations in the residual line-of-sight velocity field. Recent results using the \apg{} survey f…

The GALAH survey: Co-orbiting stars and chemical tagging

Jeffrey D. Simpson, Sarah L. Martell, Gary Da Costa +24

We present a study using the second data release of the GALAH survey of stellar parameters and elemental abundances of 15 pairs of stars identified by Oh et al 2017. They identifie…

The GALAH survey: properties of the Galactic disk(s) in the solar neighbourhood

L. Duong, K. C. Freeman, M. Asplund +26

Using data from the GALAH pilot survey, we determine properties of the Galactic thin and thick disks near the solar neighbourhood. The data cover a small range of Galactocentric ra…

The GALAH Survey: Scientific Motivation

G. M. De Silva, K. C. Freeman, J. Bland-Hawthorn +44

The GALAH survey is a large high-resolution spectroscopic survey using the newly commissioned HERMES spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The HERMES spectrograph provide…
