Orbital Torus Imaging: Acceleration, density, and dark matter in the Galactic disk measured with element abundance gradients
Danny Horta, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, David W. Hogg +5
Under the assumption of a simple and time-invariant gravitational potential, many Galactic dynamics techniques infer the Milky Way's mass and dark matter distribution from stellar…
On the co-rotation of Milky Way satellites: LMC-mass satellites induce apparent motions in outer halo tracers
Nicolas Garavito-Camargo, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Jenna Samuel +8
Understanding the physical mechanism behind the formation of a co-rotating thin plane of satellite galaxies, like the one observed around the Milky Way (MW), has been challenging.…
Chemical Cartography of the Sagittarius Stream with Gaia
Emily C. Cunningham, Jason A. S. Hunt, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +5
The stellar stream connected to the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy is the most massive tidal stream that has been mapped in the Galaxy, and is the dominant contributor to the outer…
RomAndromeda: The Roman Survey of the Andromeda Halo
Arjun Dey, Joan Najita, Carrie Filion +50
As our nearest large neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy provides a unique laboratory for investigating galaxy formation and the distribution and substructure properties of dark matter…
NANCY: Next-generation All-sky Near-infrared Community surveY
Jiwon Jesse Han, Arjun Dey, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +206
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is capable of delivering an unprecedented all-sky, high-spatial resolution, multi-epoch infrared map to the astronomical community. This oppor…
Roman CCS White Paper: Adding Fields Hosting Globular Clusters To The Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey
Samuel K. Grunblatt, Robert F. Wilson, Andrew Winter +9
Despite multiple previous searches, no transiting planets have yet been identified within a globular cluster. This is believed to be due to a combination of factors: the low metall…
Prospects for Detecting Gaps in Globular Cluster Stellar Streams in External Galaxies with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
Christian Aganze, Sarah Pearson, Tjitske Starkenburg +5
Stellar streams form through the tidal disruption of satellite galaxies or globular clusters orbiting a host galaxy. Globular cluster streams are exciting since they are thin (dyna…
Estimating the selection function of Gaia DR3 sub-samples
A. Castro-Ginard, A. G. A. Brown, Z. Kostrzewa-Rutkowska +9
Understanding which sources are present in an astronomical catalogue and which are not is crucial for the accurate interpretation of astronomical data. In particular, for the multi…
: Mapping Vertical Phase Spiral Characteristics Throughout the Real and Simulated Milky Way
Elise Darragh-Ford, Jason A. S. Hunt, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +1
The recent discovery of a spiral pattern in the vertical kinematic structure in the solar neighborhood provides a prime opportunity to study non-equilibrium dynamics in the Milky W…
