Wide binaries from the H3 survey: the thick disk and halo have similar wide binary fractions
Hsiang-Chih Hwang, Yuan-Sen Ting, Charlie Conroy +8
Due to the different environments in the Milky Way's disk and halo, comparing wide binaries in the disk and halo is key to understanding wide binary formation and evolution. By usi…
Evidence from Disrupted Halo Dwarfs that -process Enrichment via Neutron Star Mergers is Delayed by Myrs
Rohan P. Naidu, Alexander P. Ji, Charlie Conroy +10
The astrophysical origins of -process elements remain elusive. Neutron star mergers (NSMs) and special classes of core-collapse supernovae (rCCSNe) are leading candidates. Due t…
Machine-Learned Dark Matter Subhalo Candidates in the 4FGL-DR2: Search for the Perturber of the GD-1 Stream
Nestor Mirabal, Ana Bonaca
The detection of dark matter subhalos without a stellar component in the Galactic halo remains a challenge. We use supervised machine learning to identify high-latitude gamma-ray s…
All-Sky Dynamical Response of the Galactic Halo to the Large Magellanic Cloud
Charlie Conroy, Rohan P. Naidu, Nicolas Garavito-Camargo +4
Gravitational interactions between the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the stellar and dark matter halo of the Milky Way are expected to give rise to disequilibrium phenomena in t…
New families in our Solar neighborhood: applying Gaussian Mixture models for objective classification of structures in the Milky Way and in simulations
Farnik Nikakhtar, Robyn E. Sanderson, Andrew Wetzel +10
The standard picture of galaxy formation motivates the decomposition of the Milky Way into 3--4 stellar populations with distinct kinematic and elemental abundance distributions: t…
Reconstructing the Last Major Merger of the Milky Way with the H3 Survey
Rohan P. Naidu, Charlie Conroy, Ana Bonaca +8
Several lines of evidence suggest the Milky Way underwent a major merger at z~2 with a galaxy known as Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE). Here we use H3 Survey data to argue that GSE en…
