1. Finding stars that are likely to be from accreted satellite galaxies
University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The Milky Way galaxy has through its lifetime merged with several smaller galaxies in its surroundings. Merger events like these play an important role in the formation of galaxies and are therefore of great interest to better our understanding of galaxy formation. READ MORE

2. The Metallicity Structure of the Milky Way Halo II : Characterising the distant halo substructure
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysikAbstract : The Milky Way galaxy, like all spiral galaxies, is surrounded by a roughly spherical distribution of stars called the halo. The halo was largely formed when the galaxy merged with smaller galaxies. READ MORE

3. Archaeologic inspection of the Milky Way using vibrations of a fossil : Seismic, spectroscopic and kinematic characterization of a binary metal-poor Halo star
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysikAbstract : The Milky Way has undergone several mergers with other galaxies during its lifetime. The mergers have been identified via stellar debris in the Halo of the Milky Way. The practice of mapping these mergers is called galactic archaeology. To perform this archaeologic inspection, three stellar features must be mapped: chemistry, kinematics and age. READ MORE
