Magnetic Fields in the Bones of the Milky Way

Ian W. Stephens, Simon Coude, Philip C. Myers +20

Stars primarily form in galactic spiral arms within dense, filamentary molecular clouds. The largest and most elongated of these molecular clouds are referred to as ``bones," which…

A Glimpse of Satellite Galaxies in the Milky Way with the 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST): Bootes III and Draco

Chao Yang, Zhizheng Pan, Min Fang +34

We carry out deep imaging of the Milky Way satellite galaxies, Bootes III and Draco, with WFST as one pilot observing program to demonstrate the capability of WFST. Combining catal…

GRB Timing: Decoding the Hidden Slow Jets in GRB 060729

Jin-Jun Geng, Ding-Fang Hu, Hao-Xuan Gao +16

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are luminous stellar explosions characterized by the ejection of relativistic jets. This work proposes a novel paradigm to study these GRB jets. By analyzin…

LAMOST Reveals Long-lived Protoplanetary Disks

Xiao-Long Wang, Min Fang, Yao Liu +2

While both observations and theories demonstrate that protoplanetary disks are not expected to live much longer than 10 Myr, several examples of prolonged disks have been obs…

Distances to nearby molecular clouds traced by young stars

Miaomiao Zhang

I present a catalog of distances to 63 molecular clouds located within ~2.5 kpc of the Sun. The cloud distances are derived based on utilizing the Gaia DR3 parallaxes of the young…
