A proper understanding of the Milky Way (MW) dwarf galaxies in a cosmological context requires knowledge of their 3D velocities and orbits. However, proper motion (PM) measurements have generally been of limited accuracy and available only…
In this paper we analyse the methodology to derive the bar pattern speed from dynamical simulations. The results are robust to the changes in the vertical-scale height and in the mass-to-light (M/L) ratios. There is a small range of…
The precision of the Gaia data offers a unique opportunity to study the internal velocity field of star clusters. We develop and validate a forward-modelling method for the internal motions of stars in a cluster. The model allows an…
(Abridged) We study the properties of anisotropic and axisymmetric velocity ellipsoids from maps of the gas velocity dispersion in nearby galaxies. This data allow us to measure the azimuthal-to-radial axis ratio of gas velocity ellipsoids,…
Gaia DR4 epoch astrometry will enable the detection of thousands of exoplanets through astrometric motion. Here, we present a composite catalog and modeling framework that extracts the maximum information from existing Hipparcos and Gaia…
In this paper, we theoretically develop and numerically validate an asymmetric linear bilateral control model (LBCM). The novelty of the asymmetric LBCM is that using this model all the follower vehicles in a platoon can adjust their…
Using a single N-body simulation ($N=0.14\times 10^9$) we explore the formation, evolution and spatial variation of the phase-space spirals similar to those recently discovered by Antoja et al. in the Milky Way disk, with Gaia DR2. For the…
The Gaia mission has provided us full astrometric solutions for over 1.5B sources. However, only the brightest 34M of those have radial velocity measurements. As a proof of concept, this paper aims to close that gap, by obtaining radial…
We find that Galactic disk stars near the anticenter exhibit velocity asymmetries in both the Galactocentric radial and vertical components across the mid-plane as well as azimuthally. These findings are based on LAMOST spectroscopic…
Dwarf galaxies play an important role in studying the effects of the environment on galaxy formation and evolution. In this study, we aim to explore the relationship between the morphology, in particular the asymmetries of galaxies, and…
Aims. We constrain the dynamical perturbations of the spiral arms in the Milky Way disk, based on the non-axisymmetric streaming motions of RGB stars revealed by APOGEE and \textit{Gaia}. Methods. We develop a revised steady-state…
We try to determine the Galactic structure by comparing the observed and modeled velocities of OB-associations in the 3 kpc solar neighborhood. We made N-body simulations with a rotating stellar bar. The galactic disk in our model includes…
Classical Cepheids (CCs) are excellent tracers for understanding the structure of the Milky Way disk. The latest Gaia Data Release 3 provides a large number of line-of-sight velocity information for Galactic CCs, offering an opportunity for…
Mass models of galactic disks traditionally rely on axisymmetric density and rotation curves, paradoxically acting as if their most remarkable asymmetric features, such as lopsidedness or spiral arms, were not important. In this article, we…
We present an analysis of the kinematics of the Radcliffe Wave, a 2.7-kpc-long sinusoidal band of molecular clouds in the solar neighborhood recently detected via 3D dust mapping. With Gaia DR2 astrometry and spectroscopy, we analyze the 3D…
In this paper we report on the follow-up of five potential exoplanets detected with Gaia astrometry and provide an overview of what is currently known about the nature of the entire Gaia astrometric exoplanet candidate sample, 72 systems in…
Precise mass constraints are vital for the characterisation of brown dwarfs and exoplanets. Here we present how the combination of data obtained by Gaia and GRAVITY can help enlarge the sample of substellar companions with measured…
We select 1,052,469 (754,635) thin disk stars from {\it Gaia} eDR3 and LAMOST DR7 in the range of Galactocentric radius $R$ (guiding center radius $R_\mathrm{g}$) from 8 to 11\,kpc to investigate the asymmetries between the North and South…
We present the results of a kinematic analysis of red giants and subgiants whose centroids are in the plane of our Galaxy. For this, the positions, parallaxes, proper motions, and radial velocities of these stars from the $Gaia$ EDR3…
CONTEXT. Gaia EDR3 has produced parallaxes for 1.468x10^9 sources but there are calibration issues that require corrections to the published values and uncertainties. AIMS. We want to characterize the behavior of the uncertainties of the…
