On the Origin of the Kinematical Differences Between the Stellar Halo and the Old Globular Cluster System in the Large Magellanic Cloud

open access: yes, 2007
We discuss structural and kinematical properties of the stellar halo and the old globular cluster system (GCS) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) based on numerical simulations of the LMC formation.

Stellar kinematics using a third integral of motion: method and application on the Andromeda galaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We probe the feasibility of describing the structure of a multicomponent axisymmetric galaxy with a dynamical model based on the Jeans equations while taking into account a third integral of motion.

Impulsive Mixing of Stellar Populations in Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We study the response of mono-energetic stellar populations with initially isotropic kinematics to impulsive and adiabatic changes to an underlying dark matter potential.

Nonextensive Behavior of Stellar Rotation in the Galactic Disk Components

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The solar neighborhood is a unique stellar astrophysical laboratory formed by a variety of stars from different origins. In particular, two of the most notable populations known are the thick and thin disk stars, each characterized by distinct chemical ...

Maximum likelihood estimation of local stellar kinematics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Context. Kinematical data such as the mean velocities and velocity dispersions of stellar samples are useful tools to study galactic structure and evolution.

THE STELLAR KINEMATICS IN THE SOLAR NEIGHBORHOOD FROM LAMOST DATA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We use about 200,000 FGK-type main-sequence stars from the LAMOST DR1 data to map the local stellar kinematics. With the velocity deprojection technique, we are able to derive the averaged three-dimensional velocity and velocity ellipsoids using only the

Experimental Analysis and Physics‐Based Analytical Model on Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Twisted and coiled artificial muscles made from silver‐coated nylon fibers are investigated through experiments and analytical modeling. The actuators achieve contractions up to 19.3% and specific work of 8 kJ kg−1, though efficiency remains limited (≈0.15%) by thermal losses.

Kinematics of Young Stellar Objects under Various Stellar Feedback

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
Based on the Gaia Data Release 3 and APOGEE data sets, we investigate the kinematic differences between young stellar objects (YSOs) and their parent clouds in five nearby star-forming regions.

Robot‐Assisted Automated Serial‐Sectioning and Imaging for 3D Microstructural Investigations

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A fully automated 3D microstructure characterization platform provides new insights into materials. This robot‐assisted system performs serial‐sectioning, etching, and optical imaging to generate large‐volume 3D reconstructions with submicron resolution.

Jormungandr: A Large Substructure Circling the Milky Way Identified from Gaia DR3 Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report the discovery of a large substructure in the Milky Way passing through the solar neighborhood, detected in actions $\left({J}_{\phi },{J}_{{\rm{R}}}\right)$ calculated from Gaia DR3 data.
