Preliminary Analysis of ULPC Light Curves Using Fourier Decomposition Technique
Chow-Choong Ngeow, Scott Lucchini, Shashi Kanbur +2
Recent work on Ultra Long Period Cepheids (ULPCs) has suggested their usefulness as a distance indicator, but has not commented on their relationship as compared with other types o…
Using Kinematic Properties of Pre-Planetary Nebulae to Constrain Engine Paradigms
Eric G. Blackman, Scott Lucchini
Some combination of binary interactions and accretion plausibly conspire to produce the ubiquitous collimated outflows from planetary nebulae (PN) and their presumed pre-planetary…
Secular Attrition of Classical Bulges by Stellar Bars
Rachel Lee McClure, Tobias Géron, Elena D'Onghia +5
Classical bulges and stellar bars are common features in disk galaxies and serve as key tracers of galactic evolution. Angular momentum exchange at bar resonances drives secular mo…
New Interpretation for the Orientation of the LMC's Gaseous Arms B and E using ULLYSES
April Horton, Suraj Poudel, Kathleen A. Barger +20
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) experiences disruption from tidal and ram-pressure forces as it travels through the halo of the Milky Way. In this project, we combine radio emissi…
The Distance to the Magellanic Stream: Constraints from Optical Absorption along Stellar Sightlines
Sapna Mishra, Andrew J. Fox, J. V. Smoker +2
The Magellanic Stream (MS) is a large tail of neutral and ionized gas originating from tidal and hydrodynamical interactions between the Magellanic Clouds as they orbit the Milky W…
Moving groups across Galactocentric radius with Gaia DR3
Scott Lucchini, Emil Pellett, Elena D'Onghia +1
The kinematic plane of stars near the Sun has proven an indispensable tool for untangling the complexities of the structure of our Milky Way (MW). With ever improving data, numerou…
