[HTML][HTML] Milky Way dynamics in light of Gaia

JAS Hunt, E Vasiliev - New Astronomy Reviews, 2025 - Elsevier
The Gaia mission has triggered major developments in the field of Galactic dynamics in
recent years, which we discuss in this review. The structure and kinematics of all Galactic …

Assessing the robustness of the Galactic rotation curve inferred from the Jeans equations using Gaia DR3 and cosmological simulations

O Koop, T Antoja, A Helmi, TM Callingham… - Astronomy & …, 2024 - aanda.org
Context. Several authors have recently applied Jeans modelling to Gaia-based datasets to
infer the circular velocity curve for the Milky Way. These works have consistently found …

Galactic structure from binary pulsar accelerations: Beyond smooth models

T Donlon, S Chakrabarti, LM Widrow, MT Lam… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We measure the line-of-sight accelerations of 26 binary pulsars due to the Milky Way's
gravitational potential, and produce a three-dimensional map of the acceleration field of the …

Iron Snails: non-equilibrium dynamics and spiral abundance patterns

N Frankel, DW Hogg, S Tremaine… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Galaxies are not in a dynamical steady state. They continually undergo perturbations, eg,
from infalling dwarf galaxies and dark-matter substructure. After a dynamical perturbation …

Superbubbles as the source of dynamical friction: Gas migration, and stellar and dark matter contributions

R Kipper, I Vurm, AN Triantafyllaki, P Tenjes… - Astronomy & …, 2025 - aanda.org
The gas distribution in galaxies is smooth on large scales, but is usually time-dependent and
inhomogeneous on smaller scales. The time-dependence originates from processes such …

Warps induced by satellites on barred and non-barred galaxies

A Wille, REG Machado - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Warps are common vertical asymmetries that appear in the outer parts of the galactic discs,
bending one part upwards and the other downwards. Many mechanisms can trigger warp …
