We present proper motions for $>$40 stars at projected distances $\leq1.2''$ from Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). We find evidence on a $\geq2\sigma$ level for radial anisotropy of the cluster of stars within $1''$ of Sgr A*. We find no evidence…

WLM is a dwarf irregular that is seen almost edge-on that has prompted a number of kinematical studies investigating its rotation curve and its dark matter content. In this paper, we investigate the origin of the strong asymmetry of the…

We present observations and models of the kinematics and distribution of neutral hydrogen (HI) in the superthin galaxy FGC 1440 with an optical axial ratio $a/b = 20.4$. Using the Giant Meterwave Radio telescope (GMRT), we imaged the galaxy…

We have selected and analyzed a sample of OB stars with known line-of-sight velocities determined through ground-based observations and with trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions from the Gaia DR2 catalogue. Some of the stars in our…

The method of constructing of rotation curve for our galactic disc is discussed. Simple physical model shows that the velocity of the Sun around the center of the Galaxy must be less than currently accepted IAU value 220 km/s. Independently…

NGC 4013 is a distinctly warped galaxy with evidence of disk-halo activity. Through deep HI observations and modeling we confirm that the HI disk is thin (central exponential scale height of with an upper limit of 4" or 280 pc), but…

The neutral hydrogen line profiles along the major axis of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2403 show a wing towards the sytemic velocity. This asymmetry can be explained with the presence of an abnormally thick HI disk (FWHM ~ 5 kpc) or with a…

Many spiral galaxies show a large-scale asymmetry with a cos\phi dependence in their rotation curves as well as in their morphology, such as M101 and NGC 628. We show that both these features can be explained by the response of a galactic…

Line-of-sight velocities of gas and stars can constrain dark matter (DM) within rotationally supported galaxies if they trace circular orbits extensively. Photometric asymmetries may signify non-circular motions, requiring spectra with…

Observations suggest a slower stellar rotation relative to gas rotation in the outer part of the Milky Way Galaxy. This difference could be attributed to an interaction with the interstellar magnetic field. In a simple model, fields of…
