Four-hundred Very Metal-poor Stars Studied with LAMOST and Subaru. IV. Heavy Element Enhanced Stars

Yangming Lin, Haining Li, Wako Aoki +7

We perform a homogeneous analysis of 82 heavy-element-enhanced metal-poor stars from the\\ LAMOST/Subaru sample, including 64 -process-enhanced stars, 2 limited- stars, and 1…

A -like metallicity profile in the disk of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy

Zixi Guo, Xiang-Xiang Xue, Jiang Chang +12

Unveiling the properties of the progenitors that formed the tidal structures of the Milky Way (MW) is essential for exploring the MW's assembly history. Such studies further afford…

Disentangling the Distant Stellar Halo Using K-Giants in the DESI Year 3 Data

Namitha Kizhuprakkat, Andrew P. Cooper, Wenting Wang +42

We present a sample of 88,959 K-giants from DESI Milky Way Survey Year 3 data, which we use to characterize the chemo-dynamical properties of the stellar halo at Galactocentric dis…

HR-GO II: chemical abundances of low- retrograde dynamically-tagged-groups: Revealing Thamnos as a very metal-poor substructure

Renjing Xie, Zhen Yuan, Haining Li +12

Milky Way halo substructures identified in dynamical space are known to suffer from contamination from the Milky Way in-situ stars, which makes their accreted origins uncertain. We…

A 3D Chemodynamical Census of Inner-Galaxy Metal-poor Giants to [Fe/H]~-3.5

Shenglan Sun, Yang Huang, Fangzhou Jiang +8

The earliest assembly of the Milky Way remains poorly understood, yet the spatial, chemical, and kinematic properties of its most metal-poor stars provide a unique fossil record of…

Chasing the formation history of the Galactic metal-poor disc

Xiaokun Hou, Ruizhi Zhang, Haining Li +1

In our previous work, we identified metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] -1.0) from the LAMOST Survey. This work estimates their chemical abundances and explores the origin a…

The Rotating Bulge and Halo in the Milky Way: Evidence of Angular Momentum Transferred from the Decelerating Bar

Zhuohan Li, Chengdong Li, Gang Zhao +2

Recent observations indicate that both the Milky Way bulge and inner halo exhibit angular momentum, although the origin and evolution of this prograde signature remain ambiguous. O…

Main-sequence Turnoff Stars as Probes of the Ancient Galactic Relic: Chemo-dynamical Analysis of a Pilot Sample

Renjing Xie, Haining Li, Ruizhi Zhang +5

The main-sequence turnoff (MSTO) stars well preserve the chemical properties where they were born, making them ideal tracers for studying the stellar population. We perform a detai…

The Shape and Mass of the Galactic Dark Matter Halo from the Axisymmetric Jeans Model

Lan Zhang, Xiang-Xiang Xue, Ling Zhu +8

We explore the density profile, shape, and virial mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo using K giants (KG) from LAMOST and SDSS/SEGUE, as well as blue horizontal branch (BHB) s…

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…

Discovery of an Extremely r-process-enhanced Thin-disk Star with [Eu/H] = +0.78

Xiao-Jin Xie, Jianrong Shi, Hong-Liang Yan +9

Highly r-process-enhanced stars are rare and usually metal-poor ([Fe/H] < - 1.0), and mainly populate the Milky Way halo and dwarf galaxies. This study presents the discovery of a…

Four-hundred Very Metal-poor Stars Studied with LAMOST and Subaru. III. Dynamically Tagged Groups and Chemodynamical Properties

Ruizhi Zhang, Tadafumi Matsuno, Haining Li +9

Very metal-poor (VMP) stars record the signatures of early accreted galaxies, making them essential tools for unraveling the early stages of Galaxy formation. Understanding the ori…

Exploring the ex-situ components within Gaia DR3

Zhuohan Li, Gang Zhao, Ruizhi Zhang +3

The presence of Gaia DR3 provides a large sample of stars with complete 6D information, offering a fertile ground for the exploration of stellar objects that were accreted to the M…
