Efficient mass transfer in binaries naturally limits the mass of the first-born black hole and produces a sharp drop above 45 solar masses that mimics the pair-instability gap.
Simulations show Lindblad-resonance wrinkles from non-winding spirals are filled with zero-age stars on orbits normally occupied by much older populations, offering an age-based constraint on past transient spiral patterns.
The Via Project is a planned five-year dual-hemisphere spectroscopic survey targeting over 2 million stars with 100 m/s RV stability and transient spectroscopy to r~24 using instruments on MMT and Magellan/Clay telescopes starting in 2027.
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.
MESA grid models find HD 20794 is a 0.80 solar-mass star aged ~9 Gyr whose observed abundances match core-collapse supernova enrichment and are preserved over Gyr timescales.
