The Accretion History of the Milky Way: III. Hydrodynamical Simulations of Galactic Dwarf Galaxies at First Infall
Jianling Wang, Francois Hammer, Yanbin Yang +3
Most Milky Way dwarf galaxies are much less bound to their host than are relics of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus and Sgr. These dwarfs are expected to have fallen into the Galactic halo l…
The accretion history of the Milky Way. II. Internal kinematics of globular clusters and of dwarf galaxies
Francois Hammer, Jianling Wang, Gary A. Mamon +7
We study how structural properties of globular clusters and dwarf galaxies are linked to their orbits in the Milky Way halo. From the inner to the outer halo, orbital energy increa…
The discovery of the faintest known Milky Way satellite using UNIONS
Simon E. T. Smith, William Cerny, Christian R. Hayes +14
We present the discovery of Ursa Major III/UNIONS 1, the least luminous known satellite of the Milky Way, which is estimated to have an absolute V-band magnitude of $+2.2^{+0.4}_{-…
Detection of the Keplerian decline in the Milky Way rotation curve
Yongjun Jiao, Francois Hammer, Haifeng Wang +4
Our position inside the Galactic disc had prevented us from establishing an accurate rotation curve, until the advent of Gaia, whose third data release (Gaia DR3) made it possible…
