Galactic Archaeology with Gaia

AJ Deason, V Belokurov - New Astronomy Reviews, 2024 - Elsevier
The Gaia mission has revolutionized our view of the Milky Way and its satellite citizens. The
field of Galactic Archaeology has been piecing together the formation and evolution of the …

The effect of the LMC on the Milky Way system

E Vasiliev - Galaxies, 2023 - mdpi.com
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 …

Overview of the DESI Milky Way Survey

AP Cooper, SE Koposov, CA Prieto… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Detection of the Keplerian decline in the Milky Way rotation curve

Y Jiao, F Hammer, H Wang, J Wang, P Amram… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Our position inside the Galactic disc has previously prevented us from establishing an
accurate rotation curve (RC). The advent of Gaia and its third data release (Gaia DR3) made …

S 5: Probing the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds potentials with the 6D map of the Orphan–Chenab stream

SE Koposov, D Erkal, TS Li, GS Da Costa… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We present a 6D map of the Orphan–Chenab (OC) stream by combining the data from
Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (S 5) and Gaia. We reconstruct the proper …

Measuring the mass of the Large Magellanic Cloud with stellar streams observed by S 5

N Shipp, D Erkal, A Drlica-Wagner, TS Li… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Stellar streams are excellent probes of the underlying gravitational potential in which they
evolve. In this work, we fit dynamical models to five streams in the Southern Galactic …

The stellar halo of the Galaxy is tilted and doubly broken

JJ Han, C Conroy, BD Johnson… - The Astronomical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Modern Galactic surveys have revealed an ancient merger that dominates the stellar halo of
our galaxy (Gaia–Sausage–Enceladus, GSE). Using chemical abundances and kinematics …

Dear Magellanic Clouds, welcome back!

E Vasiliev - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We propose a scenario in which the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is on its second
passage around the Milky Way. Using a series of tailored N-body simulations, we …

The merger and assembly histories of Milky Way-and M31-like galaxies with TNG50: disc survival through mergers

D Sotillo-Ramos, A Pillepich, M Donnari… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We analyse the merger and assembly histories of Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31)-
like galaxies to quantify how, and how often, disc galaxies of this mass can survive recent …

The effect of the deforming dark matter haloes of the Milky Way and the Large Magellanic Cloud on the Orphan–Chenab stream

S Lilleengen, MS Petersen, D Erkal… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
It has recently been shown that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has a substantial effect
on the Milky Way's stellar halo and stellar streams. Here, we explore how deformations of …
