Exploring the origin of low-metallicity stars in Milky-Way-like galaxies with the NIHAO-UHD simulations

The kinematics of the most metal-poor stars provide a window into the early formation and accretion history of the Milky Way (MW). Here, we use five high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations (similar to 5 x 10(6) star particles) of MW-like galaxies ...

Instability of a thin viscous film flowing under an inclined substrate: the emergence and stability of rivulets

François Gallaire, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Gaëtan Pierre Clément Lerisson

We study the pattern formation of a thin film flowing under an inclined planar substrate. The phenomenon is studied in the context of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability using the lubrication equation. Inspired by experimental observations, we numerically stud ...

Tracing the formation of the Milky Way through ultra metal-poor stars

Pascale Jablonka, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We use Gaia DR2 astrometric and photometric data, published radial velocities and MESA models to infer distances, orbits, surface gravities, and effective temperatures for all ultra metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] < -4.0 dex) available in the literature. Assuming ...

Observations of Sagittarius A* during the pericenter passage of the G2 object with MAGIC

Thomas Günther Bretz

Context. We present the results of a multi-year monitoring campaign of the Galactic center (GC) with the MAGIC telescopes. These observations were primarily motivated by reports that a putative gas cloud (G2) would be passing in close proximity to the supe ...

Rayleigh-Taylor instability under an inclined plane

François Gallaire, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun, Pierre Rieu

We revisit the canonical Rayleigh-Taylor instability and investigate the case of a thin film of fluid upon the underside of an inclined plane. The presence of a natural flow along the plane competes with the conventional droplet forming instability. In par ...

Effect of hole-shape irregularities on photonic crystal waveguides

Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov

The effect of irregular hole shape on the spectrum and radiation losses of a photonic crystal waveguide is studied using Bloch-mode expansion. Deviations from a circular hole are characterized by a radius fluctuation amplitude and correlation angle. It is ...
