Streams, substructures, and the early history of the Milky Way
A Helmi - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
The advent of the second data release of the Gaia mission, in combination with data from
large spectroscopic surveys, is revolutionizing our understanding of the Galaxy. Thanks to …

Multiple populations in globular clusters: Lessons learned from the Milky Way globular clusters
RG Gratton, E Carretta, A Bragaglia - The Astronomy and Astrophysics …, 2012 - Springer
Recent progress in studies of globular clusters has shown that they are not simple stellar
populations, but rather are made up of multiple generations. Evidence stems both from …

Sdss-iii: Massive spectroscopic surveys of the distant universe, the milky way, and extra-solar planetary systems
Building on the legacy of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-I and II), SDSS-III is a program
of four spectroscopic surveys on three scientific themes: dark energy and cosmological …

Tracing galaxy formation with stellar halos. I. Methods
If the favored hierarchical cosmological model is correct, then the Milky Way system should
have accreted~ 100-200 luminous satellite galaxies in the past~ 12 Gyr. We model this …

Reionization and the abundance of galactic satellites
One of the main challenges facing standard hierarchical structure formation models is that
the predicted abundance of Galactic subhalos with circular velocities vc∼ 10–30 km s-1 is …

Kinematics of metal-poor stars in the galaxy. III. Formation of the stellar halo and thick disk as revealed from a large sample of nonkinematically selected stars
M Chiba, TC Beers - The Astronomical Journal, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a detailed analysis of the space motions of 1203 solar-neighborhood stars with
metal abundances [Fe/H]≤-0.6, on the basis of a catalog, of metal-poor stars selected …

Debris streams in the solar neighbourhood as relicts from the formation of the Milky Way
It is now generally believed that galaxies were built up through gravitational amplification of
primordial fluctuations and the subsequent merging of smaller precursor structures. The …

Galactic stellar haloes in the CDM model
We present six simulations of galactic stellar haloes formed by the tidal disruption of
accreted dwarf galaxies in a fully cosmological setting. Our model is based on the Aquarius …
