Unveiling a Young Thick Disk in the Milky Way
The Astrophysical Journal LettersAbstract The thickness of a galaxy’s disk provides a valuable probe of its formation and evolution history. Observations of the Milky Way and local galaxies have revealed an ubiquitous disk structure with two distinctive components: an old thick disk and a relatively young thin disk.

Chemodynamical evolution of the Milky Way disk [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2013 In the first paper of this series, we present a new approach for studying the chemo-dynamical evolution in disk galaxies, which consists of fusing disk chemical evolution models with compatible numerical simulations of galactic disks. This method avoids known star formation and chemical enrichment problems encountered in simulations.

Disk Assembly of the Milky Way Suggested from the Time-resolved Chemical Abundance [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalBoth simulations and observations suggest that the disk assembly of galaxies is governed by the interplay between coplanar gas inflow, ex-planar gas outflow, and in situ star formation on the disk, known as the leaky accretion disk.

Role of Gaseous Disk in the Formation of the Spiral Structure of the Milky Way Galaxy
Open Astronomy, 2016 We use observational gaseous and stellar density distributions in the disk of the Milky Way (MW) galaxy together with the disk rotation curve and measured disk velocity dispersion to build collisionless and combined collisionless-gaseous equilibrium ...

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We investigate the kinematic-chemical distribution of red-giant branch stars from the LAMOST survey crossed matched with Gaia DR2 proper motions, and present time tagging for the well-known ridge structures (diagonal distributions for V _R in the R , V ...

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989 A warped disk in our own galaxy is evident by means of HI, HII, γ-rays and dust observations, but unexistent when star distributions are considered, specially those of late type stars. This fact is in disagreement with the theories which assume a gravitational origin of warps, for instance a tidal interaction with the Magellanic Clouds.

Mapping the Milky Way Disk with Gaia DR3: 3D Extended Kinematic Maps and Rotation Curve to ≈30 kpc
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 We apply a statistical deconvolution of the parallax errors based on Lucy’s inversion method (LIM) to the Gaia DR3 sources to measure their 3D velocity components in the range of Galactocentric distances R between 8 and 30 kpc with their corresponding ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a Galactic disk vertical velocity analysis using OB type stars (OB stars), red clump (RC) stars, and main-sequence turnoff (MSTO) stars with different average age populations crossmatched with LAMOST DR5 and Gaia DR3. We show that the vertical
