[HTML][HTML] The effect of the LMC on the Milky Way system

E Vasiliev - Galaxies, 2023 - mdpi.com
We review the recent theoretical and observational developments concerning the interaction
of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the Milky Way and its neighbourhood. An …

The dark matter profile of the Milky Way inferred from its circular velocity curve

X Ou, AC Eilers, L Necib, A Frebel - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
In this paper, we construct the circular velocity curve of the Milky Way out to∼ 30 kpc,
providing an updated model of the dark matter density profile. We derive precise parallaxes …

Detection of the Keplerian decline in the Milky Way rotation curve

Y Jiao, F Hammer, H Wang, J Wang, P Amram… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Our position inside the Galactic disc has previously prevented us from establishing an
accurate rotation curve (RC). The advent of Gaia and its third data release (Gaia DR3) made …

DELVE 6: An Ancient, Ultra-faint Star Cluster on the Outskirts of the Magellanic Clouds

W Cerny, A Drlica-Wagner, TS Li… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the discovery of DELVE 6, an ultra-faint stellar system identified in the second
data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration (DELVE) survey. Based on a …

Dear Magellanic Clouds, welcome back!

E Vasiliev - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We propose a scenario in which the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is on its second
passage around the Milky Way. Using a series of tailored N-body simulations, we …

Distant Echoes of the Milky Way's Last Major Merger

V Chandra, RP Naidu, C Conroy, AP Ji… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The majority of the Milky Way's stellar halo consists of debris from our galaxy's last major
merger, the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE). In the past few years, stars from the GSE have …

Impact of the Galactic bar on tidal streams within the Galactic disc-The case of the tidal stream of the Hyades

GF Thomas, B Famaey, G Monari, CFP Laporte… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Tidal streams of disrupted clusters are powerful probes of the gravitational potential of the
Galaxy and they are routinely detected in the stellar halo of the Milky Way. It was recently …

Albatross: a scalable simulation-based inference pipeline for analysing stellar streams in the Milky Way

J Alvey, M Gerdes, C Weniger - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Stellar streams are potentially a very sensitive observational probe of galactic astrophysics,
as well as the dark matter population in the Milky Way. On the other hand, performing a …

Structure, Kinematics, and Observability of the Large Magellanic Cloud's Dynamical Friction Wake in Cold versus Fuzzy Dark Matter

HR Foote, G Besla, P Mocz… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) will induce a dynamical friction (DF) wake on
infall to the Milky Way (MW). The MW's stellar halo will respond to the gravity of the LMC and …

Charting the Galactic Acceleration Field. II. A Global Mass Model of the Milky Way from the STREAMFINDER Atlas of Stellar Streams Detected in Gaia DR3

R Ibata, K Malhan, W Tenachi… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an atlas and follow-up spectroscopic observations of 87 thin stream-like
structures detected with the STREAMFINDER algorithm in Gaia DR3, of which 28 are new …
