The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA Derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools and Stellar Library
D. S. Aguado, Romina Ahumada, Andres Almeida +230
Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years o…
Rediscovering the Tidal Tails of NGC 288 with Gaia DR2
Shaziana Kaderali, Jason A. S. Hunt, Jeremy J. Webb +2
NGC 288 is a Galactic globular cluster having observed extra tidal structure, without confirmed tidal tails. DR2 provides photometric and astrometric data for many of the st…
Transient spiral structure and the disc velocity substructure in Gaia DR2
Jason A. S. Hunt, Jack Hong, Jo Bovy +2
The second data release from ESA's Gaia mission has revealed many ridge-like structures in the velocity distribution of the Milky Way. We show that these can arise naturally from w…
Radial Distribution of Stellar Motions in Gaia DR2
Daisuke Kawata, Junichi Baba, Ioana Ciucă +4
By taking advantage of the superb measurements of position and velocity for an unprecedented large number of stars provided in Gaia DR2, we have generated the first maps of the rot…
Aurigaia: mock Gaia DR2 stellar catalogues from the Auriga cosmological simulations
Robert J. J. Grand, John Helly, Azadeh Fattahi +12
We present and analyse mock stellar catalogues that match the selection criteria and observables (including uncertainties) of the Gaia satellite data release 2 (DR2). The source ar…
The 4:1 Outer Lindblad Resonance of a long slow bar as a potential explanation for the Hercules stream
Jason A. S. Hunt, Jo Bovy
There are multiple groups of comoving stars in the Solar neighbourhood, which can potentially be explained as the signatures of one of the fundamental resonances of non-axisymmetri…
Gaia DR1 evidence of disrupting Perseus Arm
Junichi Baba, Daisuke Kawata, Noriyuki Matsunaga +2
We have discovered a clear sign of the disruption phase of the Perseus arm in the Milky Way using Cepheid variables, taking advantage of the accurately measured distances of Cephei…
