Phase-Spirals Across Galactic Disks II: Using large-scale "macro-spirals" in phase-spiral amplitude to derive perturbation times
Kiyan Tavangar, Kathryn V. Johnston, Jason A. S. Hunt +3
Phase-space spirals in the Milky Way disk are a key observable remnant of recent perturbations to the Galaxy. They provide insight into the disk's potential, dynamical evolution, p…
A Broken Clock Is Right Twice a Day: [Ce/Mg] Is Not a Universal Chemical Clock
Liam O. Dubay, Jennifer A. Johnson, James W. Johnson +14
The ratio of -process to -element enrichment () has been proposed as a ``chemical clock,'' or a means to estimate stellar ages. However, the age-- relation vari…

The Milky Way's circular velocity curve measured using element abundance gradients
Danny Horta, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Sergey E. Koposov +4
Spectroscopic surveys now supply precise stellar label measurements such as element abundances for large samples of stars throughout the Milky Way. These element abundances are kno…
The DREAMS Project: Disentangling the Impact of Halo-to-Halo Variance and Baryonic Feedback on Milky Way Satellite Galaxies
Jonah C. Rose, Mariangela Lisanti, Paul Torrey +24
We analyze the properties of satellite galaxies around 1,024 Milky Way-mass hosts from the DREAMS Project, simulated within a CDM cosmology. Utilizing the TNG galaxy-formation m…
The Astrometric Resoeccentric Degeneracy: Eccentric Single Planets Mimic 2:1 Resonant Planet Pairs in Astrometry
Daniel A. Yahalomi, Tiger Lu, Philip J. Armitage +4
Detections of long-period giant exoplanets will expand dramatically with Gaia Data Release 4 (DR4), but interpreting these signals will require care. We derive the astrometric reso…
The dark matter wake of a galactic bar revealed by multichannel Singular Spectral Analysis
Jason A. S. Hunt, Michael S. Petersen, Martin D. Weinberg +7
The Milky Way is known to contain a stellar bar, as are a significant fraction of disc galaxies across the universe. Our understanding of bar evolution, both theoretically and thro…
Looking for Companionship: Radial Velocity Follow-Up of Lithium-Rich Giants with ESPRESSO
Maryum Sayeed, Andrew R. Casey, Benjamin T. Montet +4
Lithium-rich red giants have been a long-standing mystery in stellar astrophysics. A leading theory to explain these chemically peculiar and rare objects is interactions with a clo…
StarStream: Automatic detection algorithm for stellar streams
Yingtian Chen, Oleg Y. Gnedin, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +1
The Gaia mission has led to the discovery of over 100 stellar streams in the Milky Way, most of which likely originated from globular clusters (GCs). As the upcoming wide-field sur…
StarStream on Gaia: Stream discovery and mass loss rate of globular clusters
Yingtian Chen, Oleg Y. Gnedin, Adrian M. Price-Whelan
We apply the automatic stellar stream detection algorithm StarStream to Gaia Data Release 3 and identify 87 stellar streams associated with Galactic globular clusters (GCs), includ…
The Milky Way - Large Magellanic Cloud Interaction with Simulation Based Inference
Richard A. N. Brooks, Jason L. Sanders, Vedant Chandra +4
The infall of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) into the Milky Way (MW) has displaced the MW's centre of mass, manifesting as an observed reflex motion in the velocities of outer ha…
Inferring Stellar Densities with Flexible Models I: The Distribution of RR Lyrae in the Milky Way with DR3
