[HTML][HTML] The global dynamical atlas of the milky way mergers: Constraints from Gaia EDR3–based orbits of globular clusters, stellar streams, and satellite galaxies

K Malhan, RA Ibata, S Sharma, B Famaey… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org

Evidence from the h3 survey that the stellar halo is entirely comprised of substructure

RP Naidu, C Conroy, A Bonaca… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
In the ΛCDM paradigm, the Galactic stellar halo is predicted to harbor the accreted debris of
smaller systems. To identify these systems, the H3 Spectroscopic Survey, combined with …

Reconstructing the last major merger of the Milky Way with the H3 survey

RP Naidu, C Conroy, A Bonaca, D Zaritsky… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Several lines of evidence suggest that the Milky Way underwent a major merger at z∼ 2 with
the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) galaxy. Here we use H3 Survey data to argue that GSE …
