Unveiling the stellar halo distribution with multi-wavelength photometry
Event Start:
2019-11-25T15:00:00
Event End:
2019-11-25T16:00:00
Event Information:
The stellar halo of our Galaxy is mostly formed by stars that were initially residing in dwarf galaxies and globular clusters, which have been disrupted by the tidal field of the Milky Way. Because the structures created by these disruptions can survive for a long time, the stellar halo is the best place to probe the accretion history of our Galaxy.
Event Location:
