The Large-scale Structure Supplies the Formation of Gas-star Misaligned Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Using the integral field unit data from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory survey, we build a sample of gas-star misaligned galaxies. The large-scale environment of misaligned galaxies is dominated by filaments and clusters, while it

Kinematical Fluctuations Vary with Galaxy Surface Mass Density

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The Galaxy inner parts are generally considered to be optically symmetric, as well as kinematically symmetric for most massive early-type galaxies. At the lower-mass end, many galaxies contain lots of small patches in their velocity maps, causing their ...

Satellite Kinematics I: A New Method to Constrain the Halo Mass-Luminosity Relation of Central Galaxies

open access: yes, 2008
Satellite kinematics can be used to probe the masses of dark matter haloes of central galaxies. In order to measure the kinematics with sufficient signal-to-noise, one uses the satellite galaxies of a large number of central galaxies stacked according to

2D mapping of young stars in the inner 180 pc of NGC 1068: correlation with molecular gas ring and stellar kinematics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We report the first two-dimensional mapping of the stellar population and non-stellar continua within the inner 180 pc (radius) of NGC 1068 at a spatial resolution of 8 pc, using integral field spectroscopy in the near-infrared.

Discovery and Initial Investigation of a New Low Surface Brightness Planetary Nebula Candidate at High Galactic Latitude

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Planetary nebulae represent a late evolutionary phase of low‐ to intermediate‐mass stars. In this article, we present the serendipitous discovery of a previously unknown, faint potential Galactic planetary nebula (PN) in the constellation Camelopardalis, identified during a survey‐inspection, aiming at the detection of dwarf companions of the ...

Properties of Galaxies with Counter-rotating Stellar Disks in the MaNGA Survey

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The gas accretion process can fuel both star formation and black hole activity, playing a critical role in galaxy evolution. The counter-rotating structures are believed to originate from gas accretion, serving as an ideal laboratory to study its impact ...

Similar Signatures of Coplanar Gas Inflow and Disk Warps in Galactic Gas Kinematic Maps

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Hydrodynamic simulations suggest that galactic gas disks form when coplanar gas spirals into the inner regions of the disk. We recently presented a simple modified accretion disk model of viscous galactic disks in which star formation is fed by a radial ...

Mapping the Kinematically Decoupled Core in NGC 1407 with MUSE

open access: yes, 2018
Studies of the kinematics of NGC 1407 have revealed complex kinematical structure, consisting of the outer galaxy, an embedded disc within a radius of $\sim60$ arcsec, and a kinematically decoupled core (KDC) with a radius of less than 30arcsec. However,

GeoNav: Enhancing field phenotyping with high‐precision global navigation systems integration in the Field Book mobile application

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Field data collection is a key activity in plant breeding, underpinning efforts to develop crop varieties with improved yields, disease resistance, and climate adaptability. Accurately associating data with the correct field plots is critical for selection and genetic improvement but can be challenging, especially in large experiments.

Jormungandr: A Large Substructure Circling the Milky Way Identified from Gaia DR3 Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report the discovery of a large substructure in the Milky Way passing through the solar neighborhood, detected in actions $\left({J}_{\phi },{J}_{{\rm{R}}}\right)$ calculated from Gaia DR3 data.
