Is Liller 1 a building block of the Galactic bulge? -- Evidence with APOGEE
Anna Liptrott, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Andrew C. Mason +10
Liller 1 is a stellar system orbiting within the inner 0.8kpc of the Galactic centre, characterised by a wide spread in age and metallicity, indicating a high mass. Liller 1 has be…
Measuring and modelling the Splash with APOGEE/Gaia and ARTEMIS
Shobhit Kisku, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Andreea S. Font +6
Using combined data from SDSS-IV/APOGEE and Gaia, we study the chemo-dynamical properties of the Splash population in comparison with those of the high-alpha disc. We investigate a…
Tidal Debris Candidates from the Centauri Accretion Event and its Role in Building Up the Milky Way Halo
Borja Anguiano, Arik Mitschang, Takanobu Kirihara +11
We identify stellar tidal debris from the Centauri ( Cen) system among field stars in the APOGEE survey via chemical tagging using a neural network trained on APOGEE obser…
Chemical tagging with APOGEE, MUSE, and HST: constraints on the formation of Centauri
Andrew C. Mason, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Sebastian Kamann +9
A plethora of evidence suggests that Centauri ( Cen) is the nuclear star cluster of a galaxy that merged with the Milky Way in early times. We use APOGEE, Gaia, MUSE, and…
