Different Formation Scenarios of Counter-rotating Stellar Disks in Nearby Galaxies

Min Bao, Yanmei Chen, Pengpei Zhu +7

Using the integral field unit (IFU) data from Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, we select a sample of 101 galaxies with counter-rotating stellar d…

An analytical model to kinematically identify thin discs in MaNGA galaxies

Meng Yang, Anne-Marie Weijmans, Matthew A. Bershady +3

We present an analytical model to identify thin discs in galaxies, and apply this model to a sample of SDSS MaNGA galaxies. This model fits the velocity and velocity dispersion fie…

Revisiting Pulsar Velocities Using Gaia Data Release 2

Meng Yang, Shi Dai, Di Li +3

Precise measurements of neutron star (NS) velocities provide critical clues to the supernova physics and evolution of binary systems. Based on Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2), we selecte…

Mapping the dark matter halo of early-type galaxy NGC 2974 through orbit-based models with combined stellar and cold gas kinematics

Meng Yang, Ling Zhu, Anne-Marie Weijmans +4

We present an orbit-based method of combining stellar and cold gas kinematics to constrain the dark matter profile of early-type galaxies. We apply this method to early-type galaxy…

The Data Analysis Pipeline for the SDSS-IV MaNGA IFU Galaxy Survey: Overview

Kyle B. Westfall, Michele Cappellari, Matthew A. Bershady +28

Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) is acquiring integral-field spectroscopy for the largest sample of galaxies to date. By 2020, the MaNGA Survey --- one o…

The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA Derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools and Stellar Library

D. S. Aguado, Romina Ahumada, Andres Almeida +230

Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years o…
