Observational identification of a low-α Splash population in APOGEE DR17 and GASTRO simulations showing that clumpy proto-disk scattering, but not a major merger alone, heats old thin-disk stars to form both high- and low-α Splash components.
A single end-to-end Transformer model unifies stellar labels from heterogeneous spectroscopic surveys into a self-consistent scale without post-hoc recalibration.
Milky Way abundance trends act as effective empirical proxies for nucleosynthetic yields, recovering alpha and Fe-peak abundances in quiescent galaxies with 0.05 dex median offset versus 0.23 dex for theory, indicating largely universal yields.
The Milky Way stellar disk shows a broken radial density profile with four components, azimuthal dependence, inner and outer flaring, and a density-metallicity bump possibly from radial migration.
PhDLspec combines differential spectra from physical stellar models with a transformer to derive approximately 30 stellar parameters from low-resolution spectra hundreds of times faster than traditional calculations.
300S stellar stream exhibits three density peaks, smooth width variations, a possible 4.7 degree gap, and a kink modeled as resulting from Large Magellanic Cloud interaction across its full known footprint.
A public catalogue provides geometric and photogeometric distances plus uncertainties for 1.47 billion Gaia EDR3 stars derived via probabilistic inference with a three-dimensional Galactic prior.
A blind 12D chemo-dynamical clustering analysis with UMAP and HDBSCAN on SDSS-V DR19 and Gaia DR3 data recovers seven known halo substructures and reports five new tightly bound candidates FO1-FO5.
Four solar-type twin binaries show evolutionary diversity from main-sequence to red-giant stages with varying magnetic activity, including possible triple-system signatures in one case.
TOI-4311 hosts a 0.99-day super-Earth (1.38 R_earth, 4.5 M_earth) and 15-day sub-Neptune (2.47 R_earth), plus a candidate 38-day planet, with the dense inner planet potentially challenging formation theories given the host's galactic population.
A uniform spectroscopic catalog of 625 exoplanet hosts shows subsolar-metallicity giant-planet hosts are alpha-enhanced relative to both iron-rich hosts and typical metal-poor field stars.
FIRE-2 simulations show that stellar radial redistribution scatter saturates at ~2 kpc for stars older than ~3 Gyr, with net orbital changes depending on age and current radius, broadly matching Milky Way observations.
Chemical tagging with seven elements recovers 63 kinematically rejected stars in 22 open clusters, 35% of which lie outside Jacobi radii as extra-tidal debris.
Optimized filters centered at 3920-3960 Angstrom yield metallicity estimates with 0.18-0.39 dex precision down to [Fe/H] ~ -4 for metal-poor stars from Gaia XP spectra, enabling a catalog of 14.5 million such stars.
A large sample of blue horizontal-branch stars reveals that the Milky Way halo anisotropy increases from the center, stays radially dominated after removing merger debris, and shows older stars on colder, less radial orbits in the inner regions.
The Sagittarius dwarf progenitor had a metallicity gradient of roughly -0.3 dex per kpc prior to infall.
Negative Ca II IRT residual indices in FGK stars arise mainly because synthetic photospheric templates miss chromospheric structure and NLTE effects that deepen the observed cores.
The Milky Way retrograde halo contains debris from multiple accreted dwarf galaxies, shown by distinct metallicity distribution peaks that remain separate even when combined with orbital dynamics.
New CCSN yield tables at varying metallicities are inserted into galactic chemical evolution models and tuned to reproduce the Si-group and Fe-group abundances measured by Hitomi in the Perseus Cluster.
An updated orbital frequency method shows multiple Milky Way bar lengths and pattern speeds are consistent with star data within 5 percent.
High-precision abundances and Ba isotopic ratios in TYC 6044-714-1 favor an s+r nucleosynthesis scenario over i-process models, which require implausible conditions and mismatch isotopic data.
PISP projects high-dimensional spectra into optimized subspaces using PCA or active subspaces plus L1 selection to raise accuracy and speed of stellar parameter inference over standard methods.
The PFS Galactic Archaeology survey will observe thousands of stars in Local Group systems to measure density profiles in dwarfs and compare assembly histories of M31 and the Milky Way.
