A direct measurement of the tilting rate of the Milky Way disc
Guillaume F. Thomas, Benoit Famaey, Alicia Rivero +2
The Milky Way disc is typically described, at lowest order, as a flattened rotating stellar component with a fixed spin axis. However, interactions and mergers with smaller galaxie…
Characterizing the disruption of Böotes III: a missing link in the Galactic halo?
Jaclyn Jensen, Daniel A. Boyea, Alan W. McConnachie +14
The Böotes III (Boo3) dwarf galaxy has long been suspected of being the progenitor of Styx, a ~50°-long stellar stream that was simultaneously discovered in the same region of sky.…
Asymmetries in stellar streams induced by a galactic merger
Claire Guillaume, Florent Renaud, Nicolas F. Martin +6
Stellar streams are sensitive to perturbations from, e.g., giant molecular clouds, bars and spiral arms, infalling dwarf galaxies, or globular clusters which can imprint gaps, clum…
UNIONS: The Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey
Stephen Gwyn, Alan W. McConnachie, Jean-Charles Cuillandre +86
The Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS) is a "collaboration of collaborations" that is using the Canada-France-Hawai'i Telescope, the Pan-STARRS telescopes,…
On the metal-poor edge of the Milky Way "thin disc"
Emma Fernández-Alvar, Georges Kordopatis, Vanessa Hill +9
The emergence of the disc in our Galaxy and the relation of the thick and thin disc formation and evolution is still a matter of debate. The chemo-dynamical characterization of dis…
Charting the Galactic acceleration field II. A global mass model of the Milky Way from the STREAMFINDER Atlas of Stellar Streams detected in Gaia DR3
Rodrigo Ibata, Khyati Malhan, Wassim Tenachi +17
We present an atlas and follow-up spectroscopic observations of 87 thin stream-like structures detected with the STREAMFINDER algorithm in Gaia DR3, of which 29 are new discoveries…
