We report results on the kinematics of Milky Way (MW) globular clusters (GCs) based on updated space velocities for nearly the entire GC population. We found that a 3D space with the semi-major axis, the eccentricity and the inclination of…

We study the possibility that galactic rotation curves can be explained by a gravitational potential that contains a linear term as well as a Newtonian one. This hypothesis, suggested by conformal gravity, does allow good fits to the…

We use the Gaia-TGAS data to compare the transverse velocities in Galactic longitude (coming from proper motions and parallaxes) in the Milky Way disk for negative and positive longitudes as a function of distance. The transverse velocities…

The atomic hydrogen gas (HI) disk in the outer region (beyond ~10 kpc from the centre) of Milky Way can provide valuable information about the structure of the dark matter halo. The recent 3-D thickness map of the outer HI disk from the all…

We investigate effects of massive graviton on the rotation curves of the Milky Way, spiral galaxies and Low Surface Brightness~(LSB) galaxies. Using a simple de Rham, Gabadadze, and Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity model, we find static…

We re-analyse the velocity-dispersion profile sigma(r) at radii r>10 kpc in the Galactic stellar halo, recently derived by Battaglia et al. (2005), who concluded that, for constant velocity anisotropy of the tracers, these data rule out a…

We provide new values of the orbital parameters of 152 globular clusters, which are calculated using the new mean proper motions obtained from the Gaia EDR3 catalog data. The orbits were integrated 5 Gyr back in an axisymmetric…

We introduce a novel method that utilizes the longitude-velocity (l-v) envelope to constrain the Milky Way (MW) bar potential. Previous work (Habing 2016) used the l-v diagram to explain the distribution of the observed high-velocity stars.…
