The Intrinsic Flattening of Galaxy Disks
The Astrophysical JournalHighly inclined (edge-on) disk galaxies offer the unique perspective to constrain their intrinsic flattening, c / a , where c and a are, respectively, the vertical and long radial axes of the disk measured at suitable stellar densities.

Bulge properties and dark matter content of early-type barred galaxies
, 2007 The dynamics of a barred galaxy depends on the pattern speed of its bar. The only direct method for measuring the pattern speed of a bar is the Tremaine-Weinberg technique.

Exploration of Halo Substructures in Integrals-of-motion Space with Gaia Data Release 3
The Astrophysical JournalUsing kinematic data from the Gaia Data Release 3 catalog, along with metallicity estimates robustly derived from Gaia BP/RP spectra, we have explored the Galactic stellar halo in search of both known and potentially new substructures.

The Neutral Hydrogen Kinematics of the Dwarf Galaxy Merger NGC 3239 [PDF]
, 2019 We present H I spectral line images of the nearby dwarf galaxy NGC 3239. The galaxy’s curious morphology suggests that it is a post-merger system. We propose that NGC 3239 is a merger because it has multiple tidal tails, an enhanced velocity dispersion ...

GMOS Integral Field Spectroscopy of a Merging System with Enhanced Balmer Absorption
, 2004 In this paper we present the three dimensional dynamics of the galaxy SDSS J101345.39+011613.66, selected for its unusually strong Balmer absorption lines (Wo(H-delta)=7.5A). Using the GMOS-South IFU in Nod & Shuffle mode we have mapped the continuum and

The Astrophysical JournalThe formation pathways of lenticular galaxies (S0s) in field environments remain a matter of debate. We utilize the cosmological hydrodynamic simulation, NewHorizon , to investigate the issue. We select two massive star formation quenched S0s as our main

The Relation Between Halo Shape, Velocity Dispersion and Formation Time
, 2010 We use dark matter haloes identified in the MareNostrum Universe and galaxy groups identified in the Sloan Data Release 7 galaxy catalogue, to study the relation between halo shape and halo dynamics, parametrizing out the mass of the systems.

Identifying substructure associations in the Milky Way halo using chemo-kinematic tagging
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. The Milky Way halo has been built-up over cosmic time through the accretion and dissolution of star clusters and dwarf galaxies as well as through their complex interactions with the Galactic disc.

Distribution and Kinematics of Classical Cepheids in the Galactic Outer Ring
Open Astronomy, 2015 The existence of an outer ring in the Galaxy can explain the kinematics of OB associations in the Perseus and Sagittarius stellar-gas complexes. Moreover, it can also explain the orientation of the Carina arm with respect to the major axis of the bar. We
