Observational Constraints of Radial Migration in the Galactic Disk Driven by the Slowing Bar

Observational Constraints of Radial Migration in the Galactic Disk Driven by the Slowing Bar

Radial migration is an important dynamical effect that has reshaped the Galactic disk, but its origin has yet to be elucidated. In this work, we present evidence that resonant dragging by the corotation of a decelerating bar could be the main driver of radial migration in the Milky Way disk. Using a...
