Made-to-measure galaxy models - III Modelling with Milky Way observations
R. J. Long, Shude Mao, Juntai Shen +1
We demonstrate how the Syer & Tremaine made-to-measure method of stellar dynamical modelling can be adapted to model a rotating galactic bar. We validate our made-to-measure change…
Determining neutron star masses with weak microlensing
Lanlan Tian, Shude Mao
The masses of stars including stellar remnants are almost exclusively known from binary systems. In this work, we study gravitational microlensing of faint background galaxies by i…
A New Model for the Milky Way Bar
Yougang Wang, Hongsheng Zhao, Shude Mao +1
We use Schwarzschild's orbit-superposition technique to construct self-consistent models of the Galactic bar. Using minimisation, we find that the best-fit Galactic bar model…
Astrophysical Applications of Gravitational Microlensing
Shude Mao
Since the first discovery of microlensing events nearly two decades ago, gravitational microlensing has accumulated tens of TBytes of data and developed into a powerful astrophysic…
Internal kinematics of groups of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data release 7
Cheng Li, Y. P. Jing, Shude Mao +5
We present measurements of the velocity dispersion profile (VDP) for galaxy groups in the final data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). For groups of given mass we est…
On the soft X-ray emission of M82
Jiren Liu, Q. Daniel Wang, Shude Mao
We present a spatial analysis of the soft X-ray and Hα emissions from the outflow of the starburst galaxy M82. We find that the two emissions are tightly correlated on various scal…
