Iron Snails: Nonequilibrium Dynamics and Spiral Abundance Patterns

The Astrophysical Journal
Galaxies are not in a dynamical steady state: they continually undergo perturbations, e.g., from infalling dwarf galaxies and dark matter substructure. After a dynamical perturbation, stars phase mix toward a new steady state; in so doing, they generally

The Stability of Galaxy Disks

, 2013
We calculate the stellar surface mass density (Sigma_*) and two-component (gas+stars) disk stability (Q_RW) for 25 late-type galaxies from the DiskMass Survey. These calculations are based on fits of a dynamical model to our ionized-gas and stellar kinematic data performed using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling of the Bayesian posterior ...

Investigating the Lower Limit of Metallicity for the Galactic Thin Disk

The Astrophysical Journal
We explore the metal-poor regime of the Galactic disk on the distribution of stars in the [ α /M]– V _ϕ plane, to identify the most metal-poor thin disk (MPTnD) stars belonging to the low- α sequence.

Counter-Rotation in Disk Galaxies

, 2014
Counter-rotating galaxies host two components rotating in opposite directions with respect to each other. The kinematic and morphological properties of lenticulars and spirals hosting counter-rotating components are reviewed. Statistics of the counter-rotating galaxies and analysis of their stellar populations provide constraints on the formation ...

Here Be SDRAGNs—Spiral Galaxies Hosting Large Double Radio Sources

The Astronomical Journal
We present a sample of large double radio sources hosted by spiral galaxies (spiral double radio active galactic nuclei, SDRAGNs). Candidates were initially selected through the Radio Galaxy Zoo project and subsequently refined using Sloan Digital Sky ...

Dynamics of a Galaxy at z > 10 Explored by JWST Integral Field Spectroscopy: Hints of Rotating Disk Suggesting Weak Feedback

The Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the dynamics of GN-z11, a luminous galaxy at z = 10.60, carefully analyzing the public deep integral field spectroscopy (IFS) data taken with the JWST NIRSpec integral field unit.

Metal-poor Stars in the MW Disk: Resonant Cooling of Vertical Oscillations of Halo Stars in Barred Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Using numerical simulations of a barred disk galaxy embedded in nonspinning and spinning dark matter (DM) halos, we present a novel mechanism of “cooling” the vertical oscillations of DM particles, which acquire disk kinematics.

Morphological Evolution of Disk Galaxies and Their Concentration, Asymmetry, and Clumpiness (CAS) Properties in Simulations across Toomre’s Q Parameter

The Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the morphological and structural evolution of disk galaxies in simulations for a wide range of Toomre’s Q parameters. In addition to the inspection of conventional bar modes, we compute the concentration, asymmetry, and clumpiness (CAS ...

Small and Large Dust Cavities in Disks around Mid-M Stars in Taurus

The Astrophysical Journal
High angular resolution imaging by Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has revealed the near universality and diversity of substructures in protoplanetary disks.
