The Rapid Onset of Stellar Bars in the Baryon-dominated Centers of Disk Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Recent observations of high-redshift galactic disks ( z ≈ 1–3) show a strong negative trend in the dark-matter (DM) fraction f _DM with increasing baryon surface density.

Resonant Effects of a Bar on the Galactic Disk Kinematics Perpendicular to Its Plane
Galaxies, 2023 Detailed analysis of kinematics of the Milky Way disk in the solar neighborhood based on the GAIA DR3 catalog reveals the existence of peculiarities in the stellar velocity distribution perpendicular to the galactic plane.

The Flattening Metallicity Gradient in the Milky Way’s Thin Disk [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract We calculate the ages, orbits and phase-space coordinates for a sample of ∼4 million LAMOST and Gaia stars. The ages are cross-matched and compared with values from two other popular age catalogs, which derive the ages using different methods.

AZIMUTHAL METALLICITY STRUCTURE IN THE MILKY WAY DISK [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 Elemental abundance patterns in the Galactic disk constrain theories of the formation and evolution of the Milky Way. HII region abundances are the result of billions of years of chemical evolution. We made radio recombination line and continuum measurements of 21 HII regions located between Galactic azimuth Az = 90-130 degree, a previously unexplored ...

Characterizing circumstellar disk around young stars [PDF]
, 2010 The circumstellar disks play a fundamental role in star and planet formation process. Studies on circumstellar disks are generally carried on following two viable approaches: "statistical" studies, where a large samples of sources are measured to ...

ACTION-BASED DYNAMICAL MODELING FOR THE MILKY WAY DISK [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT We present RoadMapping, a full-likelihood dynamical modeling machinery that aims to recover the Milky Way’s (MW) gravitational potential from large samples of stars in the Galactic disk. RoadMapping models the observed positions and velocities of stars with a parameterized, three-integral distribution function (DF) in a ...

The evolution of carbon and oxygen in the bulge and disk of the Milky Way [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2009 The evolution of C and O abundances in the Milky Way can impose strong constraints on stellar nucleosynthesis and help understanding the formation and evolution of our Galaxy. The aim is to review the measured C and O abundances in the disk and bulge of the Galaxy and compare them with model predictions.

ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF THE ABUNDANCE GRADIENT ALONG THE MILKY WAY DISK
, 2009 Based on a simple model of the chemical evolution of the Milky Way disk, we investigate the disk oxygen abundance gradient and its time evolution. Two star formation rates (SFRs) are considered, one is the classical Kennicutt-Schmidt law (Psi = 0.25 ...

All-sky Kinematics and Chemistry of Monoceros Stellar Overdensity
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We explore the kinematic and chemical properties of the Monoceros stellar overdensity by combining data from the Two Micron All Sky Survey, Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, APOGEE, and Gaia.
