Divergent Evolution of Radial Metallicity Gradients in the Thin and Thick Disks of the Milky Way

Weixiang Sun, Gaohuan Long, Hui Li +6

Using 200,388 red clump stars from LAMOST and APOGEE, we investigate the radial metallicity gradients of the Galactic disk as a function of vertical height and stellar age. The thi…

The Kinematic Signature of the Warp and Waves in the Milky Way Disk

Weixiang Sun, Han Shen, Biwei Jiang +1

Using over 170,000 red clump (RC) stars selected from LAMOST and APOGEE, we conduct a detailed analysis of the stellar as a function of (or ) across differen…

The Age-velocity Dispersion Relations of the Galactic Disk as Revealed by the LAMOST-Gaia Red Clump Stars

Weixiang Sun, Han Shen, Biwei Jiang +1

Using nearly 230,000 red clump (RC) stars selected from LAMOST and Gaia, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of the stellar age-velocity dispersion relations (AVRs) for various dis…

The Galactic Disk North-south Asymmetry in Metallicity May Be A New Tracer for the Disk Warp

Weixiang Sun, Han Shen, Biwei Jiang +1

Galactic disk warp has been widely characterized by stellar distributions and stellar kinematics but has not been traced by stellar chemistry. Here, we use a sample with over 170,0…

On the chemical and kinematic signatures of the resonances of the Galactic bar as revealed by the LAMOST-APOGEE red clump stars

Weixiang Sun, Han Shen, Biwei Jiang +1

The Milky Way is widely considered to exhibit features of a rotational bar or quadrupole bar. In either case, the feature of the resonance of the Galactic bar should be present in…

Mapping the Chemo-dynamics of the Galactic disk using the LAMOST and APOGEE red clump stars

Weixiang Sun, Han Shen, Biwei Jiang +1

A detailed measurement is made of the metallicity distributions, kinematics and dynamics of the thin and thick disks, across a large disk volume (5.0 15.0 kpc and…

Mapping the Galactic disk with the LAMOST and Gaia Red clump sample: VIII: Mapping the kinematics of the Galactic disk using mono-age and mono-abundance stellar populations

Weixiang Sun, Yang Huang, Han Shen +5

We present a comprehensive study of the kinematic properties of the different Galactic disk populations, as defined by the chemical abundance ratios and stellar ages, across a larg…

The tilt of the velocity ellipsoid of different Galactic disk populations

Weixiang Sun, Han Shen, Xiaowei Liu

The tilt of the velocity ellipsoid is a helpful tracer of the gravitational potential of the Milky Way. In this paper, we use nearly 140,000 RC stars selected from the LAMOST and G…
