The First 3 3D Map of ISM Dust Temperature

Ioana A. Zelko, Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Albert Lee +1

We present the first large-scale 3D map of interstellar dust temperature. We build upon existing 3D reddening maps derived from starlight absorption (Bayestar19), covering 3/4 of t…

Deep Potential: Recovering the gravitational potential from a snapshot of phase space

Gregory M. Green, Yuan-Sen Ting

One of the major goals of the field of Milky Way dynamics is to recover the gravitational potential field. Mapping the potential would allow us to determine the spatial distributio…

Constraining the Distance to the North Polar Spur with Gaia DR2

Kaustav K. Das, Catherine Zucker, Joshua S. Speagle +3

The North Polar Spur (NPS) is one of the largest structures observed in the Milky Way in both the radio and soft x-rays. While several predictions have been made regarding the orig…

Data-Driven Stellar Models

Gregory M. Green, Hans-Walter Rix, Leon Tschesche +7

We develop a data-driven model to map stellar parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity and metallicity) accurately and precisely to broad-band stellar photometry. This mo…

A Galactic-scale gas wave in the Solar Neighborhood

João Alves, Catherine Zucker, Alyssa A. Goodman +6

For the past 150 years, the prevailing view of the local Interstellar Medium (ISM) was based on a peculiarity known as the Gould's Belt, an expanding ring of young stars, gas, and…

A Compendium of Distances to Molecular Clouds in the Star Formation Handbook

Catherine Zucker, Joshua S. Speagle, Edward F. Schlafly +4

Accurate distances to local molecular clouds are critical for understanding the star and planet formation process, yet distance measurements are often obtained inhomogeneously on a…
