This report summarises progress made in estimating the local density of dark matter (ρ
DM,⊙), a quantity that is especially important for dark matter direct detection experiments …

We review the recent theoretical and observational developments concerning the interaction
of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the Milky Way and its neighbourhood. An …

We assemble a catalogue of candidate Sagittarius stream members with 5D and 6D phase-
space information, using astrometric data from Gaia DR2, distances estimated from RR …

Aims. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the outstanding quality of the second data
release of the Gaia mission and its power for constraining many different aspects of the …

Context. The assembly history experienced by the Milky Way is currently being unveiled
thanks to the data provided by the Gaia mission. It is likely that the globular cluster system of …

Abstract We describe the Milky Way Survey (MWS) that will be undertaken with the Dark
Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) on the Mayall 4 m telescope at the Kitt Peak …

We combine Gaia early data release 3 astrometry with accurate photometry and utilize a
probabilistic mixture model to measure the systemic proper motion of 52 dwarf spheroidal …

Gravitational interactions between the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the stellar and
dark matter halo of the Milky Way are expected to give rise to disequilibrium phenomena in …

We analyse an N-body simulation of the interaction of the Milky Way (MW) with a Sagittarius-
like dSph (Sgr), looking for signatures which may be attributed to its orbital history in the …

A proper understanding of the Milky Way (MW) dwarf galaxies in a cosmological context
requires knowledge of their 3D velocities and orbits. However, proper motion (PM) …
