Mapping the Inner Milky Way with Infrared-Derived Distances to AGB Stars
Rajorshi Bhattacharya, Subhajit Kar, Loránt O. Sjouwerman +1
The structure and evolution of the Milky Way (MW) can be traced with distance estimates to the evolved stellar populations in the inner galactic region. However, direct astrometric…

The Milky Way bar potential constrained by the kinematics of SiO maser stars in BAaDE Survey
Tian-Ye Xia, Juntai Shen, Zhi Li +5
We introduce a novel method that utilizes the longitude-velocity (l-v) envelope to constrain the Milky Way (MW) bar potential. Previous work (Habing 2016) used the l-v diagram to e…

Distance estimate method for Asymptotic Giant Branch stars using Infrared Spectral Energy Distributions
Rajorshi Bhattacharya, Brandon M. Medina, Ylva M. Pihlström +8
We present a method to estimate distances to Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars in the Galaxy, using spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in the near- and mid-infrared. By assumin…
