Searching for Solar Siblings in APOGEE and DR2 with N-body Simulations
Jeremy J. Webb, Natalie Price-Jones, Jo Bovy +4
We make use of APOGEE and data to identify stars that are consistent with being born in the same association or star cluster as the Sun. We limit our analysis to stars that…
In Pursuit of Galactic Archaeology: Astro2020 Science White Paper
Melissa Ness, Jonathan Bird, Jennifer Johnson +30
The next decade affords tremendous opportunity to achieve the goals of Galactic archaeology. That is, to reconstruct the evolutionary narrative of the Milky Way, based on the empir…
Identifying resonances of the Galactic bar in Gaia DR2: I. Clues from action space
Wilma H. Trick, Francesca Fragkoudi, Jason A. S. Hunt +2
Action space synthesizes the orbital information of stars and is well-suited to analyse the rich kinematic substructure of the disc in the \emph{Gaia} DR2 radial velocity sample (R…
Life in the fast lane: a direct view of the dynamics, formation, and evolution of the Milky Way's bar
Jo Bovy, Henry W. Leung, Jason A. S. Hunt +3
Studies of the ages, abundances, and motions of individual stars in the Milky Way provide one of the best ways to study the evolution of disk galaxies over cosmic time. The formati…
Signatures of resonance and phase mixing in the Galactic disc
Jason A. S. Hunt, Mathew W. Bub, Jo Bovy +3
Gaia DR2 has provided an unprecedented wealth of information about the kinematics of stars in the Solar neighbourhood, and has highlighted the degree of features in the Galactic di…
