Robust Data-driven Metallicities for 175 Million Stars from Gaia XP Spectra
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 We derive and publish data-driven estimates of stellar metallicity [M/H] for ∼175 million stars with low-resolution XP spectra published in Gaia DR3.

The Progenitor of the Peculiar Galaxy NGC 3077
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a study of the structural properties and metallicity distribution of the nearby peculiar galaxy NGC 3077. Using data from our survey of the M81 Group with the Hyper Suprime-Cam on board the Subaru Telescope, we construct deep color–magnitude ...

Formation of Transitional cE/UCD Galaxies through Massive/Dwarf Disc Galaxy Mergers
Galaxies, 2023 The dynamics of the merger of a dwarf disc galaxy with a massive spiral galaxy of the Milky Way type were studied in detail. The remnant of such interaction after numerous crossings of the satellite through the disc of the main galaxy was a compact ...

The Origin of the Nuclear Star-forming Ring in NGC 3182
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We investigate the stellar and ionized gas kinematics, and stellar populations of NGC 3182 galaxy using integral field spectrograph data from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey. We try to clarify the nature of the ring structure in NGC 3182.

Revisiting the Milky Way stellar long bar and the 3 kpc arm★
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. One of the most difficult and unexplored regions of the Milky Way is the highly extincted in-plane central region within the Galactic coordinates 10◦ ≲ |ℓ| ≲ 30◦, |b| ≲ 3◦, where we have the long-bar and 3 kpc arm with intermediate-age stellar ...
