PublicaciónA Tale of Two Disks: Mapping the Milky Way with the Final Data Release of APOGEE
We present new maps of the Milky Way disk showing the distribution of metallicity ([Fe/H]), α-element abundances ([Mg/Fe]), and stellar age, using a sample of...

PublicaciónDwarf Galaxies with Central Cores in Modified Newtonian Dynamics Gravity
Some dwarf galaxies are within the Mondian regime at all radii, i.e., the gravitational acceleration provided by the observed baryons is always below the...

PublicaciónExploring the Galactic Warp through Asymmetries in the Kinematics of the Galactic Disk
Previous analyses of large databases of Milky Way stars have revealed the stellar disk of our Galaxy to be warped and that this imparts a strong signature on...

PublicaciónFirst Look at z > 1 Bars in the Rest-frame Near-infrared with JWST Early CEERS Imaging
Stellar bars are key drivers of secular evolution in galaxies and can be effectively studied using rest-frame near-infrared (NIR) images, which trace the...

PublicaciónFlares, Warps, Truncations, and Satellite: The Ultra-thin Galaxy UGC 11859
The structure of the outskirts of galaxies provides valuable information about their past and evolution. Due to their projected orientation, edge-on isolated...

PublicaciónObserving the Stellar Halo of Andromeda in Cosmological Simulations: The AURIGA2PANDAS Pipeline
We present a direct comparison of the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) observations of the stellar halo of M31 with the stellar halos of six...

PublicaciónPhotometric Signature of Ultraharmonic Resonances in Barred Galaxies
Bars may induce morphological features, such as rings, through their resonances. Previous studies suggested that the presence of "dark gaps," or regions of a...

PublicaciónPhysically Motivated Fit to Mass Surface Density Profiles Observed in Galaxies
Polytropes have gained renewed interest because they account for several seemingly disconnected observational properties of galaxies. Here we study whether...
