Milky Way disc & Bulge in situ populations: ESO white paper - Expanding horizons call

M. Bergemann, G. Kordopatis, G. Casali +11

The formation and evolution of the Milky Way's disc, bar, and bulge remain fundamentally limited by the lack of a contiguous, Galaxy-wide, high-precision chemo-dynamical map. Key o…

Bar-spiral interaction produces radial migration and star formation bursts

Léa Marques, Ivan Minchev, Bridget Ratcliffe +8

Central bars and spirals are known to strongly impact the evolution of their host galaxies, both in terms of dynamics and star formation. Their typically different pattern speeds c…

Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry

Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412

Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…

The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) I: Tracing the kinematics of metal-poor stars in the Galactic bulge

Anke Arentsen, Else Starkenburg, Nicolas F. Martin +20

Our Galaxy is known to contain a central boxy/peanut-shaped bulge, yet the importance of a classical, pressure-supported component within the central part of the Milky Way is still…

The bimodal [Mg/Fe] versus [Fe/H] bulge sequence as revealed by APOGEE DR14

A. Rojas-Arriagada, M. Zoccali, M. Schultheis +5

The Galactic bulge has a bimodal metallicity distribution function: different kinematic, spatial, and, potentially, age distributions characterize the metal-poor and metal-rich com…

The disc origin of the Milky Way bulge: Dissecting the chemo-morphological relations using N-body simulations and APOGEE

F. Fragkoudi, P. Di Matteo, M. Haywood +4

There is a long-standing debate on the origin of the metal-poor stellar populations of the Milky Way (MW) bulge, with the two leading scenarios being that these populations are eit…

What the Milky Way bulge reveals about the initial metallicity gradients in the disc

F. Fragkoudi, P. Di Matteo, M. Haywood +5

We examine the metallicity trends in the Milky Way (MW) bulge - using APOGEE DR13 data - and explore their origin by comparing two N-body models of isolated galaxies which develop…

Effects of the selection function on metallicity trends in spectroscopic surveys of the Milky Way

G. Nandakumar, M. Schultheis, M. Hayden +3

We investigate here the effect of the selection function on the metallicity distribution function (MDF) and on the vertical metallicity gradient by studying similar lines of sight…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Tracing interstellar extinction

M. Schultheis, G. Kordopatis, A. Recio-Blanco +19

Large spectroscopic surveys have enabled in the recent years the computation of three-dimensional interstellar extinction maps thanks to accurate stellar atmospheric parameters and…
