Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Rays from a Binary Neutron Star Merger: GW170817 and GRB 170817A

B. P. Abbott, +1198 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the observed time delay of $(+1.74\pm 0.05)\,{\rm{s}}$ between GRB 170817A and GW170817 to constrain the difference between the speed of gravity and speed of light to be between $-3

The mass distribution and gravitational potential of the Milky Way

TL;DR: In this article, a mass model of the Milky Way is presented to fit observational constraints and to be consistent with expectations from theoretical modelling, and a best-fitting model, as well as estimates of the properties of the galaxy are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Circumgalactic Medium

TL;DR: The circumgalactic medium (CGM) as mentioned in this paper is a multiphase medium characterized by rich dynamics and complex ionization states, and it is a source for a galaxy's star-forming fuel, the venue for galactic feedback and recycling, and perhaps the key regulator of the galactic gas supply.

An Update on Monitoring Stellar Orbits in the Galactic Center

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an update of the main results from this unique data set: a measurement of mass of and distance to SgrA*, which is not only due to an eight year increase in time base, but also due to the improved definition of the coordinate system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mean proper motions, space orbits, and velocity dispersion profiles of Galactic globular clusters derived from Gaia DR2 data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the mean proper motions and space velocities of 154 Galactic globular clusters and the velocity dispersion profiles of 141 Globular clusters based on a combination of Gaia DR2 proper motions with ground-based line-of-sight velocity.

Galactic stellar and substellar initial mass function

TL;DR: A review of the present-day mass function and initial mass function in various components of the Galaxy (disk, spheroid, young, and globular clusters) and in conditions characteristic of early star formation is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the variation of the initial mass function

TL;DR: In this paper, the uncertainty inherent in any observational estimate of the IMF is investigated by studying the scatter introduced by Poisson noise and the dynamical evolution of star clusters, and it is found that this apparent scatter reproduces quite well the observed scatter in power-law index determinations, thus defining the fundamental limit within which any true variation becomes undetectable.
Journal ArticleDOI

A synthetic view on structure and evolution of the Milky Way

TL;DR: In this article, new constraints on evolution parameters obtained from the Besancon model of population synthesis and analysis of optical and near-infrared star counts are presented, in agreement with Hipparcos results and the observed rotation curve.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monitoring stellar orbits around the Massive Black Hole in the Galactic Center

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of 16 years of monitoring stellar orbits around the massive black hole in the center of the Milky Way, using high-resolution near-infrared techniques.
