3I/ATLAS: In Search of the Witnesses to Its Voyage
3I/ATLAS is the third interstellar object discovered to date, following 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. Its unusually high excess velocity and active cometary...
A Blueprint for the Milky Way's Stellar Populations. IV. A String of Pearls-the Galactic Starburst Sequence
We continue our series of papers on phase-space distributions of stars in the Milky Way based on photometrically derived metallicities and Gaia astrometry, with...
Diagonal Ridge Pattern of Different Age Populations Found in Gaia-DR2 with LAMOST Main-sequence Turnoff and OB-type Stars
We revisit the diagonal ridge feature (diagonal distributions in the R, v φ plane) found in Gaia and present a timing analysis for it between Galactocentric...
Early Coformation of the Milky Way's Thin and Thick Disks at Redshift z > 2
The Milky Way serves as a template for understanding the formation and evolution of late-type massive disk galaxies since we can obtain detailed chemical and...
Exploring the Galactic Warp through Asymmetries in the Kinematics of the Galactic Disk
Previous analyses of large databases of Milky Way stars have revealed the stellar disk of our Galaxy to be warped and that this imparts a strong signature on...
GD-1 Stellar Stream and Cocoon in the DESI Early Data Release
We present ∼115 new spectroscopically identified members of the GD-1 tidal stream observed with the 5000-fiber Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). We...
HR-GO. II. Chemical Abundances of Low-E Retrograde Dynamically Tagged Groups: Revealing Thamnos as a Very Metal-poor Substructure
Milky Way halo substructures identified in dynamical space are known to suffer from contamination from the Milky Way in situ stars, which makes their accreted...
On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. VIII. Early Formation of the Galactic Spheroid
We introduce a new photometric catalog of RR Lyrae (RRL) variables (∼300,000) mainly based on data available in public datasets. We also present the largest and...
Orbital Torus Imaging: Using Element Abundances to Map Orbits and Mass in the Milky Way
Many approaches to galaxy dynamics assume that the gravitational potential is simple and the distribution function is time invariant. Under these assumptions...
