Stellar Populations of the Galactic Disk: Metallicity Distribution and Kinematics
Open Astronomy, 2003 Abstract Metallicities and distances have been determined from Vilnius photometry for an in situ sample of nearly 650 stars in eight proper-motion fields at high Galactic latitudes. For half of these stars, radial velocities have been measured with the CORAVEL spectrometer, which allowed us to derive spatial velocities and Galactic ...

Where are the Population III Star Relics in the Simulated Milky Way Analogs?
The Astrophysical JournalUsing six Milky Way analogs with two different numerical resolutions from the Auriga simulation, we investigate the total mass, spatial distribution, and kinematics of the Population III (Pop III) star relics in the Milky Way analogs at z = 0.

Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.

A kinematic history of stellar encounters with Beta Pictoris
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext . Beta Pictoris is an A-type star that hosts a complex planetary system with two massive gas giants and a prominent debris disc. Variable absorption lines in its stellar spectrum have been interpreted as signatures of exocomets – comet-like bodies transiting the star.

Stellar kinematics of barred galaxies
, 1999 I show that the counter-rotating core of the barred galaxy NGC 5728 could be explained by the internal dynamics of the bar. This supports the idea that the nuclear bar is counter-rotating.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...

The Astrophysical JournalDespite its proximity, the mass of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the spiral galaxy M81 (NGC 3031) has remained a subject of discussion, with doubts previously cast on the reliability of available dynamical measurements.
