Recent spectroscopic and photometric surveys are providing a comprehensive view of the MW bulge stellar population properties with unprecedented accuracy. This in turn allows us to explore the correlation between kinematics and stellar…

We use a Kernel Density Estimator method to evaluate the stellar velocity dispersion in the open cluster NGC 2571. We derive the 3-D velocity dispersion using both proper motions as extracted from Gaia DR3 and single epoch radial velocities…

We confirm, quantify, and provide a table of the coherent velocity substructure of the Milky Way disk within 2 kpc of the Sun towards the Galactic anticenter, with 0.2 kpc resolution. We use the radial velocities of ~340,000 F-type stars…

We present and analyze kinematics and orbits for a sample of 488 open clusters in the Galaxy. The velocity ellipsoid for our present sample is derived as ($\sigma_{U}$, $\sigma_{V}$, $\sigma_{W})$=$(28.7$, 15.8, 11.0) km s$^{-1}$ which…

We analyze the 3D kinematics of a sample of $\sim 4400$ red clump stars ranging between 5 and 10 kpc from the Galactic center and up to 3 kpc from the Galactic plane. This sample is representative for the metal-rich ([Fe/H] = -0.6 to 0.5)…

We have measured the stellar motions in the elliptical galaxy NGC 1700 along four position angles, to very large radii, using absorption features in spectra obtained with the Multiple Mirror Telescope. Our data extend the coverage of the…

We use the Stripe 82 proper motion catalogue of Bramich et al. (2008) to study the kinematics of Galactic disk stars in the solar neighborhood. We select samples of dwarf stars with reliable spectra and proper motions. They have cylindrical…

We present radial velocities for approximately 40 stars in each of three optically obscured, off-axis, fields toward the Galactic bulge. Combined with the data presented by Blum et al. (1994), we now have mean radial velocities and radial…

We expand our pervious numerical study of the properties of the stellar velocity distribution within the disk of a two-armed spiral galaxy by considering spiral stellar density waves with different global Fourier amplitudes, C_2. We confirm…

The catalogue of protoplanetary nebulae by Vickers et al. has been supplemented with the line-of-sight velocities and proper motions of their central stars from the literature. Based on an exponential density distribution, we have estimated…

The mass-to-light ratio (M/L) is a key parameter in decomposing galactic rotation curves into contributions from the baryonic components and the dark halo of a galaxy. One direct observational method to determine the disc M/L is by…

Radial velocity dispersion in spheroidal and elliptical galaxies, as a function of radial distance from the center of the galaxy, has been derived from Cosmological Special Relativity. For velocity dispersions in the outer regions of…

We present the first characterization of a thick disc component in the Andromeda galaxy (M31) using kinematic data from the DEIMOS multi-object spectrograph instrument on Keck II. Using 21 fields in the South West of the galaxy, we measure…

Previous analyses of large databases of Milky Way stars have revealed the stellar disk of our Galaxy to be warped and that this imparts a strong signature on the kinematics of stars beyond the solar neighborhood. However, due to the…

Average stellar orbits of the Galactic disk may have some small intrinsic ellipticity which breaks the exact axisymmetry and there may also be some migration of stars inwards or outwards. Both phenomena can be detected through kinematic…

We present a direct measurement of the stellar velocity dispersion of the early-type lens galaxy D in the system MG2016+112 (z=1.004), determined from a spectrum obtained with the Echelle Spectrograph and Imager (ESI) on the W.M. Keck-II…

We present the first stellar velocity dispersion measurement of a massive quenching galaxy at z=4.01. The galaxy is first identified as a massive z>~4 galaxy with suppressed star formation from photometric redshifts based on deep multi-band…

In the context of intra-cluster medium turbulence, it is essential to be able to split the turbulent velocity field in a compressive and a solenoidal component. We describe and implement a new method for this aim, i.e., performing a…

We study a sample of 43 early-type galaxies, selected from the SDSS because they appeared to have velocity dispersion > 350 km/s. High-resolution photometry in the SDSS i passband using HRC-ACS on board the HST shows that just less than…

We fit axisymmetric 3-integral dynamical models to NGC3379 using the line-of-sight velocity distribution obtained from HST/FOS spectra of the galaxy center and ground-based long-slit spectroscopy along four position angles, with the light…
