Divergent Evolution of Radial Metallicity Gradients in the Thin and Thick Disks of the Milky Way
Weixiang Sun, Gaohuan Long, Hui Li +6
The paper analyzes radial metallicity gradients in the Milky Way's thin and thick disks using over 200,000 red clump stars, finding a strong negative gradient in the thin disk that…
Evidence of triggered star formation in the Pillars of Creation from JWST observations
Jing Wen, Bingqiu Chen, Jian Gao +3
Stars form in molecular clouds under the influence of their local environments, yet the role of massive stellar feedback in either triggering or suppressing star formation remains…
The First Glimpse of Water Ice Absorption Map in the Milky Way
Zhetai Cao, Biwei Jiang, Stefan Meingast
Interstellar ice plays a key role in the thermal evolution of the interstellar medium and in astrochemical pathways, yet its large-scale distribution remains poorly constrained. We…
The extinction distances for over a thousand planetary nebulae with Gaia measurements
Juan Deng, Shu Wang, Biwei Jiang +1
Although Gaia has identified the central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNe) for about 70% of known Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe), reliable distance estimates remain incomplete,…
Identifying Red Supergiants in the Local Group Using JWST Photometry. I. NGC 6822, Sextans A, NGC 300, WLM, and IC 1613
Zhiwen Li, Ming Yang, Biwei Jiang +1
Red supergiants (RSGs) are crucial for studying the properties and evolution of massive stars. It is representative to conduct a census of RSGs across the Local Group, which spans…
Exploring the formation mechanisms of tidal structures in globular clusters of extragalactic origin
Shouzhi Wang, Jundan Nie, Biwei Jiang +3
Tidal structures around globular clusters provide valuable insights into cluster evolution and the hierarchical assembly of the Milky Way. Using wide-field imaging data from the DE…
