Chemical analysis of the Milky Way's nuclear star cluster: Evidence for a metallicity gradient

Context. The Milky Way nuclear star cluster (MWNSC) is located in the Galactic centre, together with the Milky Way nuclear stellar disc (MWNSD), and they dominate the gravitational potential within the inner 300 pc. However, the formation and evolution of the two systems and their possible connectio...

Descrição
Resumo:Context. The Milky Way nuclear star cluster (MWNSC) is located in the Galactic centre, together with the Milky Way nuclear stellar disc (MWNSD), and they dominate the gravitational potential within the inner 300 pc. However, the formation and evolution of the two systems and their possible connections are still under debate.
