Description
Using 21 cm observations of Complex H with the Green Bank Radio Telescope, we have derived its LSR velocity of ˜ 200 km s-1 and an H I mass of 7.5× 107 M&sun;. This gives useful support to the scenario in which the Galactic disk is being built up by the continual accretion of clouds of this type from the intracluster medium of the Local Group. Complex H is detected as shedding a gas tail, and has a shock front at its leading surface, both phenomena attributable to its interaction with the halo gas of the Milky Way.

    The Galactic underdogs: characterizing a population of metal-poor stars with disc kinematics in the Milky Way
    To deepen our knowledge of the early history of the Milky Way, it is of particular interest to investigate the orbital and chemical properties of the most metal-poor stars, which are commonly associated with the oldest stars in our Universe. With the advent of astrometric (Gaia), spectroscopic (APOGEE, GALAH, LAMOST, Gaia-RVS), and photometric

    Inferring stellar population properties from HST+JWST photometry using Normalizing Flows
    Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) encode information about the stellar populations within galaxies. By investigating the properties of these stars, such as their ages, masses, and metallicities, we can gain insights into the underlying physical processes that drive the growth and transformation of galaxies over cosmic time. For this purpose, we
