Discovery of a 21 Myr old stellar population in the Orion complex

Janez Kos, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Martin Asplund +12

The Orion complex is arguably the most studied star-forming region in the Galaxy. While stars are still being born in the Orion nebula, the oldest part was believed to be no more t…

The Circular Velocity Curve of the Milky Way from to kpc

Anna-Christina Eilers, David W. Hogg, Hans-Walter Rix +1

We measure the circular velocity curve of the Milky Way with the highest precision to date across Galactocentric distances of kpc. Our analysis dra…

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…

On the discovery of K-enhanced and possibly Mg-depleted stars throughout the Milky Way

Alex J. Kemp, Andrew R. Casey, Matthew T. Miles +8

Stars with unusual elemental abundances offer clues about rare astrophysical events or nucleosynthetic pathways. Stars with significantly depleted magnesium and enhanced potassium…

Actions are weak stellar age indicators in the Milky Way disk

Angus Beane, Melissa K. Ness, Megan Bedell

The orbital properties of stars in the disk are signatures of their formation, but they are also expected to change over time due to the dynamical evolution of the Galaxy. Stellar…

Stars behind bars II: A cosmological formation scenario for the Milky Way's central stellar structure

Tobias Buck, Melissa Ness, Aura Obreja +2

The stellar populations in the inner kiloparsecs of the Milky Way (MW) show complex kinematical and chemical structures. The origin and evolution of these structures is still under…
