We present the first measurement of the absolute proper motions of IRAS 00259+5625 (CB3, LBN594) associated with the HI loop called the "NGC281 superbubble" that extends from the Galactic plane over ~300 pc toward decreasing galactic…

Using the Purple Mountain Observatory Delingha (PMODLH) 13.7 m telescope, we report a 96-square-degree 12CO/13CO/C18O mapping observation toward the Galactic region of l = [139.75, 149.75]$^\circ$, b = [-5.25, 5.25]$^\circ$. The molecular…

Sharpless 269 (S269) is one of a few HII regions in the outer spiral arm of the Milky Way with strong water maser emission. Based on data from the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA) array, two…

The spiral structure of the Milky Way is not conclusive, even for the disc regions in the solar neighbourhood. Especially, the arm-like structures uncovered from the over-density maps of evolved stars are inconsistent with the commonly…

Recent VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometer) observations determined the distances and proper motions of star-forming regions in spiral arms directly. They showed that star-forming regions and young stars have large peculiar motions, as…

We present the astrometric VLBI observations of water masers associated with IRAS 22480+6002 (IRC+60370, hereafter I22480) with the VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry (VERA). The stellar type of I22480 looks unusual as a stellar maser…

The dust feature G159.6--18.5 in the Perseus region has previously been observed with the COSMOSOMAS experiment \citep{Watson:05} on angular scales of $\approx$ 1$^{\circ}$, and was found to exhibit anomalous microwave emission. We present…

Nowhere is black hole feedback seen in sharper relief than in the Perseus cluster of galaxies. Owing to a combination of astrophysical and instrumental challenges, however, it can be difficult to study the black hole accretion that powers…

The kinematical parameters of the local field RR Lyrae population and the zero point of the log P--<M_K> relation for these variables are inferred by applying the statistical parallax (maximum-likelihood) technique to a sample of 182 RR…

Many studies have shown that there are clear sequences in the period-luminosity relationship (PLR) for Mira variables and semiregular variables (SRVs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). To investigate the PLR for SRVs in our galaxy, we…

In this paper, we present extended gas kinematic maps of the Perseus cluster by combining five new XRISM/Resolve pointings observed in 2025 with four Performance Verification datasets from 2024, totaling 745 ks net exposure. To date,…

We report the detection in CO of the far-side counterpart of the well-known expanding 3-Kpc Arm in the central region of the Galaxy. In a CO longitude-velocity map at b = 0 deg the Far 3-Kpc Arm can be followed over at least 20 deg of…

Aims. The main purpose is to map the radial variation of the stellar space density for the young stellar population in the Galactic anticenter direction in order to understand the structure and location of the Perseus spiral arm. Methods. A…

In order to study the streaming motions of miras in the Solar neighborhood, we newly surveyed 379 red variables in the SiO maser lines at 42.821 and 43.122 GHz with the Nobeyama 45m radio telescope. Accurate radial velocities were obtained…

We present 3D velocity measurements and acceleration limits for stars within a few parsec of the Galactic Center (GC) black hole, Sgr A*, based on observations of 43 and 86 GHz circumstellar maser emission. Observations were taken with the…

Integral field spectroscopy of the inner region of the Galactic Center, over a field of roughly 40"x40" was obtained at 2.06 microns (He I) and 2.16 microns (Brackett-gamma) using BEAR, an imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer, at spectral…

We present the results of PSR$\pi$, a large astrometric project targeting radio pulsars using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). From our astrometric database of 60 pulsars, we have obtained parallax-based distance measurements for all…

We present Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer and Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph observations of high-ionization interstellar absorption toward HD 14434 [(l, b) = (135.1, -3.8); d ~ 2.3 kpc], an O5.5 V star in the Perseus OB1…

We present the first pulsar parallaxes measured with phase-referenced pulsar VLBI observations at 5 GHz. Due to the steep spectra of pulsars, previous astrometric measurements have been at lower frequencies. However, the strongest pulsars…

We simulate the astrometric observations of stars moving close to the black hole in the Galactic Center. We show, that for orbits =<1000 AU and position measurements with the accuracy of the Keck Interferometer, the periastron motion of…
