Spectroscopic measurements confirm a tight 6D phase-space clump of four RGB stars as part of the distant southern spur of the Sagittarius stream, likely stripped from Sagittarius's halo in the earliest interaction phases.
Hot Jupiter occurrence in the Galactic halo is low at ~0.13% with no significant difference between in-situ and accreted populations, well below disk rates.
Young giant stars reveal a flaring Milky Way disc with 3.5 kpc radial scale and extended spiral arms including a curved Perseus segment and a new Scutum-associated feature.
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.
A new clustering algorithm applied to orbital frequencies yields a dynamical age of 6.8 ± 0.8 Gyr for the Helmi stream.
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.
C-rich AGB stars trace the Galactic warp with larger amplitudes than Cepheids at intermediate ages of about 1 Gyr.
The MAGIC survey provides photometric metallicities for RGB stars over ~3000 deg² using CaHK narrow-band imaging plus DELVE g,r,i data, recovering 13/14 known ultra-faint dwarfs and confirming a distant Reticulum II member.
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.
The Sagittarius dwarf progenitor had a metallicity gradient of roughly -0.3 dex per kpc prior to infall.
Ages inferred for red giant stars via machine learning are generally insensitive to hyperparameters and architecture but somewhat sensitive to training set choice, especially for the oldest, coolest, and lowest-metallicity stars.
GALEX NUV excess shows an 8 sigma anti-correlation with [Fe/H] in 492 halo stars, enabling distinction of VMP stars but limited for EMP stars by chromospheric variability.
A homogeneous catalogue of age, [Fe/H], heliocentric distance and E(G_BP-G_RP) for 5056 open clusters is produced from uniform Bayesian nested sampling of Gaia DR3 CMDs against PARSEC isochrones with physically motivated priors.
