This document is divided in two parts. The first part deals with the radial velocities (RV) distributions for B-type stars and nebulosities observed with the VLT-GIRAFFE in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds towards the open clusters…

We have studied the kinematics of Galactic masers and radio stars with measured VLBI trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions. We have considered masers with relative trigonometric parallax errors less than 10\% and determined the…

We use the observed vertical velocity field, of various young tracers of the gas kinematics, obtained by Li and Chen (2022), Konietzka et al. (2024) and Zhu et al. (2024), in order to test for the existence of turbulence. We do so by…

Radial velocity is one of key measurements in understanding the fundamental properties of stars, stellar clusters and the Galaxy. A plate of stars in the Kepler field were observed in May of 2018 with the medium-resolution spectrographs of…

Here, we report comparative study of radial velocity ($\rm RV$) data of two major surveys: Gaia Data Release 2 and RAVE Data Release 5. We restricted the sample to stars with relatively accurate radial velocities ($\sigma_{\rm RV_{Gaia}}…

Radial-velocity (RV) signals induce RV variations an order of magnitude larger than the signal created by the orbit of Earth-twins, thus preventing their detection. The goal of this paper is to compare the efficiency of the different…

The interaction of an object with an unsteady flow is non-trivial and is still far from being fully understood. When an airfoil or hydrofoil, for example, undergoes time-dependent motion, nonlinear flow phenomena such as dynamic stall can…
