Galaxy disks in rotation are sometimes the site of radial flows, especially in their gas component. It is important to estimate the outflows, due to AGN or supernovae feedback, or inflows due to bar gravity torques. However, these radial…
Extracting robust inferences on physical quantities from disk kinematics measured from Doppler-shifted molecular line emission is challenging due to the data's size and complexity. In this paper we develop a flexible linear model of the…
The Tremaine-Weinberg equations are solved for a pattern speed that is allowed to vary with radius. The solution method transforms an integral equation for the pattern speed to a least squares problem with well established procedures for…
We construct a new random probability measure on the sphere and on the unit interval which in both cases has a Gibbs structure with the relative entropy functional as Hamiltonian. It satisfies a quasi-invariance formula with respect to the…

We use stellar proper motions (PM) from Gaia Data Release 2 for studying the internal kinematics of Milky Way globular clusters. In addition to statistical measurement errors, there are significant spatially correlated systematic errors,…
We test the methods developed in previous papers for inferring the intrinsic shapes of elliptical galaxies, using simulated objects from N-body experiments. The shapes of individual objects are correctly reproduced to within the statistical…
We developed an orbit-superposition method for edge-on barred galaxies and evaluated its capability to recover the bar pattern speed $\rm\Omega_p$. We selected three simulated galaxies (Au-18, Au-23, and Au-28) with known pattern speeds…
The Pairwise Einstein Model (PEM) of steps not only justifies the use of the Generalized Wigner Distribution (GWD) for Terrace Width Distributions (TWDs), it also predicts a specific form for the Step Position Distribution (SPD), i.e., the…
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…
Recent studies used TNG50 galaxies to study bar formation, evolution, and properties like length, strength, and pattern speed. In simulations, these are typically derived from particle positions and mass distribution, neglecting stellar…
We perform test-particle simulations in a 2D, differentially rotating stellar disk, subjected to a two-armed steady state spiral density wave perturbation in order to estimate the influence of spiral structure on the local velocity field.…
We test the idea that bar pattern speeds decrease with time owing to angular momentum exchange with a dark matter halo. If this process actually occurs, then the locations of the corotation resonance and other resonances should generally…
This contribution presents an overview of an improved extraction of the effective leptonic weak mixing angle, $\sin^2\theta^\ell_{\mathrm{eff}}$, based on the published CMS measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry in Drell-Yan events…
We analyze bars formed in $N$-body simulations to investigate two key aspects of stellar kinematic structure of barred galaxies: the angular distributions of the radial and azimuthal components of stellar velocities, and the impact of bars…
Observations by the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array of the dust continuum and $^{13}$CO(3-2) millimeter emissions of the triple stellar system GG Tau A are analysed, giving evidence for a rotating gas disc and a concentric and…
We study the azimuthal structure of the stellar disks of 18 face-on spiral galaxies, using K-band photometry to trace the stellar surface mass density. Assuming the disks are co-planar, we characterize their deviation from axisymmetry by…
(Abridge) Bars are very common in the centre of the disc galaxies, and they drive the evolution of their structure. A volume-limited sample of 2106 disc galaxies extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 was studied to…
