A Uniform Census of Variable Stars in M101 Based on HST/ACS Photometry

Jiyu Wang, Xiaodian Chen, Pinjian Chen +3

We present a homogeneous HST/ACS F555W/F814W time-series census of variable stars in two M101 disk fields, using a uniform multi-band reduction and reproducible variable-selection…

GSED: The Galactic Stellar Extinction Database

Baisong Zhang, Bingqiu Chen, Dongwei Fan +9

Reliable extinction correction is essential for nearly all astrophysical studies within the Galaxy. We present the Galactic Stellar Extinction Database (GSED, https://nadc.china-vo…

A Planetary Nebula from a 5.7 Progenitor in a 90 Myr M31 Star Cluster

Pinjian Chen, Bingqiu Chen, Xiaodian Chen +2

Planetary nebulae (PNe) trace the late evolution of low-to-intermediate-mass stars, yet the masses of their progenitors are rarely measured directly. Here we present a PN physicall…

Confirmation and Refutation of Lyman Continuum Leakers at with JWST NIRSpec/IFU

Shengzhe Wang, Xin Wang, Hang Zhou +10

Our understanding of the physical mechanisms and environments conducive to the escape of Lyman-continuum (LyC) radiation within the first 2 Gyr of cosmic history remains limited. H…

Discovery of an Extremely Luminous Type II Cepheid in the Andromeda Giant Stellar Stream: Evidence for a Hierarchical Triple with an Inner Binary Merger

Pinjian Chen, Bingqiu Chen, Xiaodian Chen +7

We report the discovery of LAMOST J0041+3948, the most luminous post-AGB Type II Cepheid (TIIC) known, located in the Andromeda Giant Stellar Stream. Its spectral energy distributi…

A large, long-lived, slowly-expanding superbubble across the Perseus Arm

Bingqiu Chen, Guangxing Li, Haibo Yuan +5

Stellar feedback is a crucial mechanism in galactic evolution, as demonstrated by the widespread bubbles observed with JWST. In this study, we combine data from Gaia and LAMOST to…

A Massive Yellow Supergiant in the Far Outer Disk of M31: Evidence for In Situ Massive Star Formation Beyond the Optical Radius

Pinjian Chen, Bingqiu Chen, Haibo Yuan +5

While massive stars are known to shape galactic ecosystems, their formation has long been assumed to require the high-density environments of inner galactic disks. This paradigm is…

Identification of Star Clusters in M31 from PAndAS Images Based on Deep Learning

Baisong Zhang, Bingqiu Chen, Haibo Yuan +5

The identification of star clusters holds significant importance in studying galaxy formation and evolution history. However, the task of swiftly and accurately identifying star cl…

Periodic Variability of the Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae Surveyed through the Zwicky Transient Facility

Pinjian Chen, Xuan Fang, Xiaodian Chen +1

A consensus has been reached in recent years that binarity plays an important role in the formation and evolution of a significant fraction of planetary nebulae (PNe). Utilizing th…

A Comprehensive Catalog of Emission-line Nebulae, Star Clusters, and Supergiants in M31 from the LAMOST Spectroscopic Survey

Pinjian Chen, Bingqiu Chen, Xuan Fang +5

Spectroscopic observations of various tracers in nearby galaxies, such as Andromeda (M31), play a crucial role in identifying and classifying individual stellar populations and neb…

The rotation curve and mass distribution of M31

Xiangwei Zhang, Bingqiu Chen, Pinjian Chen +2

To gain a better understanding of the Andromeda galaxy M31 and its role in the Local Group, measuring its mass precisely is essential. In this work, we have constructed the rotatio…
