The three major spiral galaxies in the Local Group are known to be warped. The question is investigated of whether or not these three warps are aligned. Using...
The origin of accreted stellar halo populations in the Milky Way using APOGEE, Gaia, and the EAGLE simulations
Recent work indicates that the nearby Galactic halo is dominated by the debris from a major accretion event. We confirm that result from an analysis of APOGEE...
Near-Earth asteroid (NEA) 101955 (1999 RQ36; henceforth RQ36) is especially accessible to spacecraft and is the primary target of NASA's OSIRIS-REx sample...
Near-Earth asteroid (162173) 1999 JU3 (henceforth JU3) is a potentially hazardous asteroid and the target of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's...
The origin of bulges and discs in the CALIFA survey - I. Morphological evolution
This series of papers aims at understanding the formation and evolution of non-barred disc galaxies. We use the new spectro-photometric decomposition code, C2D...
The origin of discs and spheroids in simulated galaxies
The major morphological features of a galaxy are thought to be determined by the assembly history and net spin of its surrounding dark halo. In the simplest...
Galaxy formation models typically assume that the size and rotation speed of galaxy discs are largely dictated by the mass, concentration and spin of their...
The origin of stars in the inner 500 parsecs in TNG50 galaxies
We investigate the origin of stars in the innermost 500 pc of galaxies spanning stellar masses of $5\times 10^{8-12}\, \mathrm{M}_{\odot }$ at z = 0 using the...
We present a search for new members of the 300 km s‑1 stream (300S) near the dwarf galaxy Segue 1 using wide-field survey data. We identify 11 previously...
