The galaxy in context: structural, kinematic, and integrated properties

J Bland-Hawthorn, O Gerhard - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, is a benchmark for understanding disk galaxies. It is the only
galaxy whose formation history can be studied using the full distribution of stars from faint …

B Barbuy, C Chiappini, O Gerhard - Annual Review of …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
The Galactic Bulge can uniquely be studied from large samples of individual stars and is
therefore of prime importance for understanding the stellar population structure of bulges in …

Disk formation versus disk accretion—what powers tidal disruption events?

T Piran, G Svirski, J Krolik, RM Cheng… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT A tidal disruption event (TDE) takes place when a star passes near enough to a
massive black hole to be disrupted. About half the star's matter is given elliptical trajectories …

Estimating stellar birth radii and the time evolution of Milky Way's ISM metallicity gradient

I Minchev, F Anders, A Recio-Blanco… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We present a semi-empirical, largely model-independent approach for estimating Galactic
birth radii, r birth, for Milky Way disc stars. The technique relies on the justifiable assumption …

Chemodynamics of barred galaxies in cosmological simulations: On the Milky Way's quiescent merger history and in-situ bulge
