Filter Design for Estimating the Stellar Metallicity of Metal-poor Stars from Gaia XP Spectra
Ruifeng Shi, Yang Huang, Kai Xiao +5
The estimation of stellar atmospheric parameters for large-scale samples, particularly metal-poor stars, is a cornerstone of Galactic archaeology. In this work, we optimized a phot…
Three-dimensional reddening maps of the Magellanic Clouds constructed by RR Lyrae stars
Shunxuan He, Yang Huang
We present the first three-dimensional reddening maps of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) constructed using fundamental-mode RR Lyrae stars from the OGLE-IV surv…
Search for Distant Hypervelocity Star Candidates Using RR Lyrae Stars
Haozhu Fu, Yang Huang, Huawei Zhang
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are stars with velocities exceeding their local escape velocities. Searching for HVSs and studying their origins can be an important way to study the pro…
Photometric-Metallicity and Distance Estimates for 70,000 RR Lyrae Stars from the Zwicky Transient Facility
Shunxuan He, Yang Huang, XinYi Li +5
Utilizing Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) data and existing RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) catalogs, this study achieves the first calibration of the a…
Identifying the Galactic Substructures in 5D Space Using All-sky RR Lyrae Stars in Gaia DR3
Shenglan Sun, Fei Wang, Huawei Zhang +9
Motivated by the vast gap between photometric and spectroscopic data volumes, there is great potential in using 5D kinematic information to identify and study substructures of the…
