Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, is a benchmark for understanding disk galaxies. It is the only
galaxy whose formation history can be studied using the full distribution of stars from faint …

We construct a large set of dynamical models of the galactic bulge, bar and inner disk using
the Made-to-Measure method. Our models are constrained to match the red clump giant …

Using data from the Gaia satellite's Radial Velocity Spectrometer Data Release 3 (RVS,
DR3), we find a new and robust feature in the phase-space distribution of halo stars. It is a …

Using spectral line observations of HNCO, N2H+, and HNC, we investigate the kinematics of
dense gas in the central∼ 250 pc of the Galaxy. We present scouse (Semi-automated multi …

We use the continuity equation to derive a method for measuring the pattern speed of the
Milky Way's bar/bulge from proper motion data. The method has minimal assumptions but …

We use hydrodynamical simulations to study the Milky Way's central molecular zone (CMZ).
The simulations include a non-equilibrium chemical network, the gas self-gravity, star …

Galaxy models have long predicted that galactic bars slow down by losing angular
momentum to their postulated dark haloes. When the bar slows down, resonance sweeps …

We explore the origin of phase-space substructures revealed by the second Gaia data
release in the disc of the Milky Way, such as the ridges in the V ϕ–r plane, the undulations in …

The second data release of the Gaia mission has revealed a very rich structure in local
velocity space. In terms of in-plane motions, this rich structure is also seen as multiple ridges …

We study the late-time evolution of the central regions of two Milky Way (MW)-like
simulations of galaxies formed in a cosmological context, one hosting a fast bar and the …
