Kinematical Analysis of Substructure in the Southern Periphery of the Large Magellanic Cloud

Xinlun Cheng, Yumi Choi, Knut Olsen +10

We report the first 3-D kinematical measurements of 88 stars in the direction of several recently discovered substructures in the southern periphery of the Large Magellanic Cloud (…

Exploring the Galactic Warp Through Asymmetries in the Kinematics of the Galactic Disk

Xinlun Cheng, Borja Anguiano, Steven R. Majewski +10

Previous analyses of large databases of Milky Way stars have revealed the stellar disk of our Galaxy to be warped and that this imparts a strong signature on the kinematics of star…

The stellar velocity distribution function in the Milky Way galaxy

Borja Anguiano, Steven R. Majewski, Chris R. Hayes +6

The stellar velocity distribution function (DF) in the solar vicinity is re-examined using data from the SDSS APOGEE survey's DR16 and \emph{Gaia} DR2. By exploiting APOGEE's abili…

Search for strong galaxy-galaxy lensing in SDSS-III BOSS

Xinlun Cheng

Strong lensing is one of the most spectacular views in the universe. Many cosmological applications have been proposed, but the number of such lensing systems is still limited. In…

Ripple patterns in in-plane velocities of OB stars from LAMOST and Gaia

Xinlun Cheng, Chao Liu, Shude Mao +1

With about 12 000 OB type stars selected from the LAMOST and Gaia survey, we study their 3 dimensional velocity distribution over the range of galactocentric radius from 6 to 15 kp…
