A self-consistent phase-space distribution function for the anisotropic dark matter halo of the Milky Way
Published 2014“…Dark Matter (DM) direct detection experiments usually assume the simplest possible ‘Standard Halo Model’ for the Milky Way (MW) halo in which the velocity distribution is Maxwellian. …”

A Radio-selected Black Hole X-Ray Binary Candidate in the Milky Way Globular Cluster M62
Published 2013“…We report the discovery of a candidate stellar-mass black hole in the Milky Way globular cluster M62. We detected the black hole candidate, which we call M62-VLA1, in the core of the cluster using deep radio continuum imaging from the Karl G. …”

How to calculate dark matter direct detection exclusion limits that are consistent with gamma rays from annihilation in the Milky Way halo
Published 2016“…In this article, we calculate exclusion limits from direct detection experiments using self-consistent velocity distributions, derived from mass models of the Milky Way where the DM halo has a generalized Navarro-Frenk-White profile. …”

H2O Southern Galactic Plane Survey (HOPS): Paper III - properties of dense molecular gas across the inner Milky Way
Published 2017“…We find the kinematic structure of gas within the inner 500 pc of the Galaxy is consistent with recent predictions for the dynamical evolution of gas flows in the centre of the Milky Way. We confirm a recent finding that the dense gas in the inner 100 pc has an oscillatory kinematic structure with characteristic length-scale of 20 pc, and also identify similar oscillatory kinematic structure in the gas at radii larger than 100 pc. …”

Two stellar-mass black holes in the globular cluster M22
Published 2012“…Some observational support for this idea is provided by the lack of X-ray-emitting binary stars comprising one black hole and one other star (‘black-hole/X-ray binaries’) in Milky Way globular clusters, even though many neutron-star/X-ray binaries are known. …”

The Cosmic Chemical Evolution Histories of Spiral Galaxies
Published 2023“…This observation has classically only been made in the Milky Way, but the availability of high-quality spectral data from MaNGA and the development of new analysis techniques mean that we can now make equivalent measurements for a large sample of spiral galaxies. …”

Variations in the Galactic star formation rate and density thresholds for star formation
Published 2013“…These star formation prescriptions appear to hold in nearby molecular clouds in our MilkyWay Galaxy’s disc as well as in distant galaxies where the star formation rates are often much larger. …”

Subhaloes gone Notts: subhaloes as tracers of the dark matter halo shape
Published 2014“…We study the shapes of subhalo distributions from four dark-matter-only simulations of Milky Way-type haloes. Comparing the shapes derived from the subhalo distributions at high resolution to those of the underlying dark matter fields, we find the former to be more triaxial if the analysis is restricted to massive subhaloes. …”
