The growing trove of precision astrometric observations from the Gaia space telescope and
other surveys is revealing the structure and dynamics of the Milky Way in ever more …

In this work, we present two new∼ 109 particle self-consistent simulations of the merger of a
Sagittarius-like dwarf galaxy with a Milky Way (MW)-like disc galaxy. One model is a violent …

The distribution of stars in the Milky Way disc shows a spiral structure− the snail− in the
space of velocity and position normal to the Galactic mid-plane. The snail appears as …

We present a novel method for constraining the length of the Galactic bar using 6D phase-
space information to directly integrate orbits. We define a pseudo-length for the Galactic bar …

The ongoing merger of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy with the Milky Way is believed to
strongly affect the dynamics of the Milky Way's disk. We present a suite of 13 N-body …

We explore the interplay between in-plane and vertical dynamics in stellar discs within the
framework of the shearing box approximation. Julian and Toomre used the shearing sheet to …

Galactic disks are highly responsive systems that often undergo external perturbations and
subsequent collisionless equilibration, predominantly via phase mixing. We use linear …

Abstract By combining the Large Sky Area Multi-object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope and
Gaia data, we investigate the vertical phase mixing across the Galactic disk. Our results …

We present an analysis of the kinematics of the Radcliffe Wave, a 2.7 kpc long sinusoidal
band of molecular clouds in the solar neighborhood recently detected via 3D dust mapping …

Context. Discoveries of extended rotation curves have suggested that spiral galaxy halos
contain dark matter. This has led to many studies that estimated the total mass of the Galaxy …
