The Coma cluster is the richest and most compact of the nearby clusters, yet there is growing evidence that its formation is still on-going. With a new multi-slit imaging spectroscopy technique pioneered at the 8.2 m Subaru telescope and…

We have analyzed the kinematics of open star clusters (OSCs) with the proper motions and distances calculated by Hao et al. based on Gaia EDR3 data. The mean line-of-sight velocities are known for a number of clusters from this list. We…

G351.776-0.527 is among the most massive, closest, and youngest filaments in the inner Galactic plane and therefore it is an ideal laboratory to study the kinematics of dense gas and mass replenishment on a large scale. In this paper, we…

We present new kinematic measurements and modeling of a sample of 116 young stars in the central parsec of the Galaxy in order to investigate the properties of the young stellar disk. The measurements were derived from a combination of…

We use an $N$-body+smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation of an isolated barred galaxy to study the age dependence of bulge longitudinal proper motion ($\mu_l$) rotation curves. We show that close to the minor axis ($|l| \sim 0^\circ$)…

We use new HST observations coupled with archival data spanning a total temporal baseline of 17 years to study the internal kinematics of the multiple populations in the globular cluster NGC 2808 from its center out to ~8 half-light radii…

Presented are spectroscopic emission and absorption line observations along the major axis of the Sb galaxy NGC 7331. The kinematics of the ionized gas and the stars appears to be regular, but contrary to what one might expect, the emission…
