Subhalo Spreading of Thin Tidal Star Streams

RG Carlberg, H Agler - The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Dark matter subhalos that pass a thin tidal star stream change the velocities of the stars near
the point of closest encounter. Subsequent orbital evolution increases the stream width and …

Rediscovering the Milky Way with orbit superposition approach and APOGEE data III. Panoramic view of the bulge

S Khoperskov, P Di Matteo, M Steinmetz… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
The innermost parts of the Milky Way (MW) are very difficult to observe due to the high
extinction along the line of sight, especially close to the disc mid-plane. However, this region …

Rediscovering the Milky Way with orbit superposition approach and APOGEE data II. Chrono-chemo-kinematics of the disc

S Khoperskov, M Steinmetz, M Haywood… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
