[Abbreviated] Context: Studies of the LMC's internal kinematics have provided a detailed view of its structure, largely by the exquisite proper motion data supplied by Gaia. However, LoS velocities are only available for a small subset of…
Context: The high quality of the Gaia mission data is allowing to study the internal kinematics of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in unprecedented detail, providing insights on the non-axisymmetric structure of its disc. Aims: To define…
We present new measurements of the two-dimensional (2-D) geometry of the LMC's stellar bar with precise astrometric observations of red clump stars in Gaia DR3. We develop a novel solution to tackle crowding induced incompleteness in Gaia…
We use Gaia DR3 to explore how well equilibrium dynamical models based on the Jeans equations and the Schwarzschild orbit superposition method are able to describe LMC's 5-dimensional phase-space distribution and line-of-sight (LOS)…
We present KRATOS, a comprehensive suite of 28 open access pure N-body simulations of isolated and interacting LMC-like galaxies, to study the formation of substructures in their disc after the interaction with an SMC-mass galaxy. The…
A model of the Galaxy with the outer ring R1R2 can explain the observed distribution of the radial, VR, and azimuthal, VT, velocity components along the Galactocentric distance, R, derived from the Gaia EDR3 data. We selected stars from the…
We apply a statistical deconvolution of the parallax errors based on Lucy's inversion method (LIM) to the Gaia-DR3 sources to measure their three dimensional velocity components in the range of Galactocentric distances $R$ between 8 kpc and…
Our location in the Milky Way provides an exceptional opportunity to gain insight on the galactic evolution processes, and complement the information inferred from observations of external galaxies. Since the Milky Way is a barred galaxy,…
The LMC's Globular Clusters (GCs) bring a novel opportunity to understand the LMC's assembly history and dark matter (DM) properties, provided the kinematically outlying GCs can be reliably identified. However, traditional diagnostics like…
The {\it Gaia} eDR3 catalogue has recently been used to study statistically the internal kinematics of wide binary populations using relative velocities of the two component stars, $\Delta V$, total binary masses, $m_{B}$, and separations,…
We use Gaia DR2 astrometric and line-of-sight velocity information combined with two sets of distances obtained with a Bayesian inference method to study the 3D velocity distribution in the Milky Way disc. We search for variations in all…
The stellar velocity distribution in the Solar Neighbourhood displays kinematic substructures, which are possibly signatures of the bar and spiral arms of the Milky Way and of previous accretion events. These kinematic substructures --…
Action space synthesizes the orbital information of stars and is well-suited to analyse the rich kinematic substructure of the disc in the \emph{Gaia} DR2 radial velocity sample (RVS). We revisit the strong perturbation induced in the Milky…
The presence of a 'butterfly' or a quadrupole structure in the stellar mean radial velocity ($<V_R>$) field of the Milky Way is well known from the Gaia and the APOGEE surveys. Past studies indicated that a stellar bar can excite such a…
The structure and dynamics of the central bar of the Milky Way are still under debate whilst being fundamental ingredients for the evolution of our Galaxy. The recent Gaia DR3 offers an unprecedented detailed view of the 6D phase-space of…
The Milky Way (MW) hosts a central bar whose pattern speed, orientation, and length remain uncertain, largely due to observational biases and selection effects, despite the transformative data provided by the Gaia mission. We aim to…
The astrometric sample of Gaia allows us to study the outermost Galactic disc, the halo and their interface. It is precisely at the very edge of the disc where the effects of external perturbations are expected to be the most noticeable.…
We investigate the three-dimensional asymmetrical kinematics and present time stamps of the Milky Way disk between Galactocentric distances of $R=12$ and 15 \,kpc, using red clump stars selected from the LAMOST Galactic survey, also with…
The vertical structure and dynamics of stars in our local Galactic neighbourhood contains much information about the local distribution of visible and dark matter and of perturbations to the Milky Way disc. We use data on the positions and…
Context: Using Gaia DR3 data, Jim\'enez-Arranz et al. (2024a) computed the LMC bar pattern speed using three different methods. One of them suggested that the LMC might be hosting a bar that barely rotates, and is slightly counter-rotating…
