The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System. This name derives from its appearance as a dim "milky" glowing band arching across the night sky, in which the naked eye cannot distinguish individual stars. The term "Milky Way" is a translatio
A team of researchers at the University of Warsaw has created the most accurate 3-D model of the Milky Way Galaxy to date. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group explains how they used measurements from a special group of pulsating st
3D model of the solar neighbourhood. The colour bar represents the temperature of the LHB. Credit ©: Michael Yeung/MPE About half a century ago, astronomers theorized that the Solar System is situated in a low-density hot gas environment. This hot gas emits soft X-rays that displace the...
Evolving N-Body Simulations to Determine the Origin and Structure of the Milky Way Galaxy's Halo Using Volunteer Computing This work describes research done by the MilkyWay@Home project to use N-Body simulations to model the formation of the Milky Way Galaxy's halo. While there... T Desell...
The majority of massive disk galaxies in the local Universe show a stellar barred structure in their central regions, including our Milky Way1,2. Bars are supposed to develop in dynamically cold stellar disks at low redshift, as the strong gas turbulence
Knowledge of the ages of the stars formed over a galaxy’s lifetime is fundamental to an understanding of its formation and evolution. However, stellar ages are difficult to obtain since they cannot be measured from observations, but require comparison w
The Gaia parallaxes have been used to characterise the spatial structure of star-forming regions and molecular clouds by producing 3D maps of the dust content of the Milky Way disc (e.g., [190,191,192,193]). In particular, the 1-pc resolution dust map of the Solar neighbourhood (∼...
Milky Way,the galaxy of which the sun and solar system are a part, seen as a broad band of light arching across the night sky from horizon to horizon; if not blocked by the horizon, it would be seen as a circle around the entire sky. Although its motion is not readily apparent, the...
Hard X-rays observations by INTEGRAL and Swift have broadened significantly our understanding in particular for the super-giant systems in the Milky Way, whose number has increased by almost a factor of three. INTEGRAL played a crucial role in the discovery, study and understanding of heavily ...
