Is the Nuclear Star Cluster a Bulge Fossil Fragment?
R. Michael Rich, Brian Thorsbro, Christian Johnson
The Milky Way nuclear star cluster (NSC) is unlike a conventional globular cluster: it contains a broad metallicity distribution and stellar populations formed over an extended int…
The LEGARE Project. I. Chemical evolution model of the Nuclear Stellar Disc in a Bayesian framework
E. Spitoni, M. Schultheis, F. Matteucci +5
The Nuclear Stellar Disc (NSD) of the Milky Way is a dense, rotating stellar system in the central 200 pc. The NSD is thought to be primarily fuelled by bar-driven gas inflows from…
Chemical analysis of the Milky Way's Nuclear Star Cluster: Evidence for a metallicity gradient
M. Schultheis, L. Serrano, B. Thorsbro +5
The Milky Way nuclear star cluster (MWNSC) is located together with its surrounding nuclear stellar disc (MWNSD) in the Galactic centre and they dominate the gravitational potentia…
Supergiant GCIRS 22 in the Milky Way Nuclear Star Cluster: Revised alpha abundances
B. Thorsbro, S. Khalidy, R. M. Rich +7
Context: The chemical abundances of alpha-elements in Galactic Centre (GC) supergiants provide key insights into the chemical enrichment and star formation history of the Milky Way…
The First Chemical Census the Milky Way's Nuclear Star Cluster
Govind Nandakumar, Nils Ryde, Mathias Schultheis +4
An important step in understanding the formation and evolution of the Nuclear Star Cluster (NSC) is to investigate its chemistry and chemical evolution. Additionally, exploring the…
MAGIS (Measuring Abundances of red super Giants with Infrared Spectroscopy) project I. Establishment of an abundance analysis procedure for red supergiants and its evaluation with nearby stars
Daisuke Taniguchi, Noriyuki Matsunaga, Naoto Kobayashi +11
[Abbreviated] Context. Given their high luminosities (L>~10^4Lsun), red supergiants (RSGs) are good tracers of the chemical abundances of the young stellar population in the Milky…
