As they indicate in their study, the mass of the Milky Way is fundamental to our understanding of astrophysics. Not only is it important in terms of placing our galaxy into the context of the general galaxy population, but it also plays a major role when addressing some of the greatest mys...
We set new limits on the mass of the Milky Way, making use of the latest kinematic information for Galactic satellites and halo objects. Our sample consists of 11 satellite galaxies, 137 globular clusters, and 413 field horizontal-branch (FHB) stars up to distances of 10 kpc from the Sun....
We present and apply a method to infer the mass of the Milky Way (MW) by comparing the dynamics of MW satellites to those of model satellites in the eagle cosmological hydrodynamics simulations. A distribution function (DF) for galactic satellites is constructed from eagle using specific angular...
ALMA View of the Circum-nuclear Disk of the Galactic Center; Tidally-disrupted Molecular Clouds falling to the Galactic Center We present high angular resolution and high sensitivity images of the "circumnuclear disk" (CND) and the surrounding region of the Milky Way Galaxy in the ... A Miyaz...
Bayesian Mass Estimates of the Milky Way: Including Measurement Uncertainties with Hierarchical Bayes. We present a hierarchical Bayesian method for estimating the total mass and mass profile of the Milky Way Galaxy. The new hierarchical Bayesian approach fu... GM Eadie,WE Harris,A Springford. - ...
We present an analysis of the galaxy stellar mass function in different environments at intermediate redshift (0.3 ≤ <italic>z</italic> ≤ 0.8) for two mass-limited galaxy samples. We use the IMACS Cluster Building Survey (ICBS; <italic>M</italic>
Mass Effect: Andromeda takes players to the Andromeda galaxy, far beyond the Milky Way. There, players will lead our fight for a new home in hostile territory - where WE are the aliens - opposed by a deadly indigenous race bent at stopping us. Play as the Pathfinder - a leader of a ...
The current status of the 'missing mass' problem is reviewed on the basis of standardized mass-to-light (M/L) ratios of galaxies. The stellar mass density in the immediate vicinity of the sun is examined, along with the mass of the Milky Way and the M/L ratios of spiral galaxies, E...
