Description
We identify candidate hypervelocity stars from the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE) G and K dwarf samples. Previous searches for hypervelocity stars have only focused on large radial velocities; in this study we also use proper motions to select the candidates. We determine the hypervelocity likelihood of each candidate, considering the significant errors often associated with high proper motion stars via Monte Carlo simulations. Using the observed 6-d positions and velocities, we also calculate the orbits of these candidates in order to determine their place of origin within the Galaxy.

    Evaluating hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation with a variance analysis of optical spectra
    Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, such as EAGLE and IllustrisTNG, provide valuable insights when coupled with high-quality survey data, enhancing our comprehension of galaxy evolution. In this work, we adopt a variance analysis of subsets of continuum-subtracted Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectra by Sharbaf+2023 and evaluate equivalent

    From metal-poor to metal-rich: new insights on Milky Way bar, bulge and disc with machine learning and Gaia.
    Machine Learning applications such as the hybrid-CNN (Guigluon et al. 2024) allows to homogeneously combine Gaia RVS spectra, photometry (G, BP, RP), parallaxes and the XP coefficients to obtain precise stellar parameters down to S/N=15. In this contribution, I will focus on the scientific applications and new results facilitated by this machine

    Metal-poor ultracool dwarfs in the Euclid era
    Metal-poor ultracool dwarfs (ultracool subdwarfs, including very-low-mass stars and brown dwarfs) are tracers of the pristine chemical composition at early phases in the assembly of the Milky Way. They are poorly understood because they are extremely faint and rare. Our aims are to improve the knowledge of ultracool subdwarf candidates, to break
