galaxy whose formation history can be studied using the full distribution of stars from faint …

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 …

Velocity substructure from Gaia and direct searches for dark matter

CAJ O'Hare, NW Evans, C McCabe, GC Myeong… - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Data from the Gaia satellite show that the solar neighborhood of the Milky Way's stellar halo
is imprinted with substructure from several accretion events. Evidence of these events is …
