AuriGLOBES is a new subgrid model implemented in Auriga simulations that incorporates compressive tides and compact-object mass loss to transform an initial Schechter mass function into observed globular cluster populations while reproducing the GC system mass-halo mass relation.
Koposov 2 is shown to be an old (13.7 Gyr) star cluster with half-light radius 2.7 pc, absolute magnitude -0.95, and stellar mass 372 solar masses, supporting a star cluster classification over a dwarf galaxy.
Mutual information analysis of TNG50 simulations shows gravitational potential and total energy retain merger mass and infall time information longest, while radial velocity loses it within ~5 Gyr, with washout depending on radius, merger age, and mass.
N-body simulation of a major merger shows M31's extended rotating stellar disc as a stretched and warped remnant of the progenitor disc extending beyond 40 kpc.
New high-resolution spectra yield abundances for 7 neutron-capture elements in open cluster stars, revealing flat Milky Way gradients for second-peak s- and r-process species and shallower slopes for first-peak s-process.
Photometric analysis yields metallicity distributions for 3917 stars across 12 faint Milky Way satellites, showing average [Fe/H] ~ -2.3 dex, 170 EMP candidates, and no gradients in ultra-faint systems.
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.
Synthetic stellar population models show TRGB luminosity varies by at most 0.028 mag from typical changes in alpha enhancement, age, and helium at fixed metallicity, confirming its robustness as a distance indicator.
Globular cluster mass fractions, in-situ fractions, metallicity spreads, and spatial profiles in simulated compact galaxies can identify massive relic analogs with early assembly histories.
GaiaNIR retains sensitivity to extended dark matter halos in globular clusters under strong extinction while Gaia degrades, enabling studies in obscured regions.
Photometric metallicities from DECam identify 213 Jet stream candidates and detect fanning in the stream morphology.
New abundance measurements confirm two stars as r-II and one as borderline r-I, with r-process material older than 10 Gyr and possible links to the Thamnos structure.
