Metallicity and α-abundance for 48 Million Stars in Low-extinction Regions in the Milky Way

The Astrophysical Journal
We estimate ([M/H], [ α /M]) for 48 million giants and dwarfs in low-dust extinction regions from the Gaia DR3 XP spectra by using tree-based machine learning models trained on APOGEE DR17 and a metal-poor star sample from Li et al.

Rotation of galaxies and dark matter

Results in Physics, 2023
In a previous paper by the author was proposed a new metric for the gravitational field of a thin rotating disk physically different from the Kerr metric. The metric is admissible for any angular momentum of the disk. As demonstrated in the present paper

Structure and Mass Distribution of the Milky Way Bulge and Disk [PDF]

arXiv, 2000
This article summarizes the structural parameters of the Galactic bulge and disk, and discusses the interpretation of the bulge microlensing observations and the determination of the Milky Way's luminous mass from the terminal velocity curve and the Oort limit. The bulge is a rotating bar with corotation radius around 4 kpc.

Accurate, Precise, and Physically Self-consistent Ages and Metallicities for 400,000 Solar Neighborhood Subgiant Branch Stars

The Astrophysical Journal
Age is the most difficult fundamental stellar parameter to infer for isolated stars. While isochrone-based ages are in general imprecise for both main-sequence dwarfs and red giants, precise isochrone-based ages can be obtained for stars on the subgiant ...

Rising from the Ashes: A Metallicity-dependent Star Formation Gap Splits the Milky Way’s α Sequences

The Astrophysical Journal
The elemental abundance distribution of stars encodes the history of the gas-phase abundance in the Milky Way. Without a large, unbiased sample of highly precise stellar ages, the exact timing and nature of this history must be inferred from the ...

Using frequency maps to explore the distribution function of the Milky Way stellar halo

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Resolved surveys of the Milky Way's stellar halo can obtain all 6 phase space coordinates of tens of thousands of individual stars, making it possible to compute their 3-dimensional orbits.
