Black holes in the milky way galaxy.
Extremely strong observational evidence has recently been found for the presence of black holes orbiting a few relatively normal stars in our Milky Way Galaxy and also at the centers of some galaxies. The former generally have masses of 4-16 times the mass of the sun, whereas the latter are "supermassive black holes" with millions to billions of solar masses. The evidence for a supermassive bla...
متن کاملGalaxy Formation: Clues from the Milky Way
Stellar Populations are the fossil record of Galactic evolution. Interpretation of this record in the Local Group allows one to determine reliably the dominant physics controlling the evolution of those galaxies which are typical of the luminosity in the Universe, and is an essential prerequisite to understanding necessarily limited data at high redshifts. In our Galaxy, the key issues are the ...
متن کاملChemodynamical Simulations of the Milky Way Galaxy
We present chemodynamical simulations of a Milky Way-type galaxy using a selfconsistent hydrodynamical code that includes supernova feedback and chemical enrichment, and predict the spatial distribution of elements from Oxygen to Zinc. In the simulated galaxy, the kinematical and chemical properties of the bulge, disk, and halo are consistent with the observations. The bulge formed from the ass...
متن کاملInfrared stellar populations in the central parts of the Milky Way galaxy ⋆
Nearand mid-IR survey data from DENIS and ISOGAL are used to investigate the structure and formation history of the inner 10◦ (1.4 kpc) of the Milky Way galaxy. Synthetic bolometric corrections and extinction coefficients in the nearand mid-IR are derived for stars of different spectral types, to allow the transformation of theoretical isochrones into observable colour-magnitude diagrams. The o...
متن کاملOxygen Abundances in the Milky Way Using X-ray Absorption Measurements towards Galaxy Clusters
We present measurements of the oxygen abundance of the Milky Way’s ISM by observing the K-shell X-ray photoionization edge towards galaxy clusters. This effect is most easily observed towards objects with galactic columns (nH) of a few times 1021 cm−2. We measure X-ray column densities towards 11 clusters and find that at high galactic columns above approximately 1021 cm−2 the X-ray columns are...
