Mapping the Milky Way with Masers
Ye Xu, Kazi Rygl, Huib Jan van Langevelde +10
SKA-VLBI is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the Galactic structure through its unprecedented astrometric precision and sensitivity. As a next-generation facility, it w…
East Asian VLBI Network astrometry toward the star-forming region G040.96+02.48 in the Extreme Outer Galaxy
Xianjin Shen, Zehao Lin, Nobuyuki Sakai +18
Accurate astrometric measurements for star-forming regions located on the far side of the Milky Way remain scarce. In this work, we present the astrometric results for a 22\,GHz wa…
Discovery of a high-velocity cloud of the Milky Way as a potential dark galaxy
Xiao-Lan Liu, Jin-Long Xu, Peng Jiang +6
High-velocity clouds (HVCs) are composed of neutral hydrogen (HI) moving at velocities that deviate from the general rotational motion of the Milky Way. Currently, the origins of t…
A New Statistical Analysis of the Morphology of Spiral Galaxies
Junye Wei, Ye Xu, Zehao Lin +4
Morphology is the starting point for understanding galaxies. Elmegreen et al. classified spiral galaxies into flocculent, multiple-arm, and grand-design galaxies based on the regul…
