The Atari Disk, a Metal-Poor Stellar Population in the Disk System of the Milky Way

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Mohammad K. Mardini, Anna Frebel, Anirudh Chiti, Yohai Meiron, Kaley V. Brauer | Summary: We have developed a chemo-dynamical approach to assign 36,010 metal-poor SkyMapper stars to various Galactic stellar populations. Using two independent techniques (velocity and action space behavior), $Gaia$ EDR3 astrometry, and photometric metallicities, we […]

Angling for x-ray pulsar geometry with polarimetry

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen, Sergey Tsygankov, Valery Suleimanov, Matteo Bachetti | Summary: Using observations of X-ray pulsar Her X-1 by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, we report on a highly significant detection of the polarization signal from an accreting neutron star. The observed degree of the […]

Possibilities and Limitations of Kinematically Identifying Stars from Accreted Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Kaley Brauer, Hillary D. Andales, Alexander P. Ji, Anna Frebel, Mohammad K. Mardini | Summary: The Milky Way has accreted many ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs), and stars from these galaxies can be found throughout our Galaxy today. Studying these stars provides insight into galaxy formation and early […]

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) VII : Membership, rotation, and lithium in the young cluster Group-X and a new young exoplanet

Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Elisabeth R. Newton, Rayna Rampalli, Adam L. Kraus, Andrew W. Mann, Jason L. Curtis | Summary: The public, all-sky surveys Gaia and TESS provide the ability to identify new young associations and determine their ages. These associations enable study of planetary evolution by providing new opportunities […]

The stellar halo in Local Group Hestia simulations III. Chemical abundance relations for accreted and in-situ stars

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sergey Khoperskov, Ivan Minchev, Noam Libeskind, Vasily Belokurov, Matthias Steinmetz | Summary: Since the chemical abundances of stars are the fossil records of the physical conditions in galaxies, they provide the key information for recovering the assembly history of galaxies. In this work, we explore the chemo-chrono-kinematics […]
