Correlation between the two-armed spiral in the -- plane and moving groups

Yan Xu, Chao Liu, Chengdong Li +5

We use a cross-matched sample of 3.7 million stars from Gaia DR3 and LAMOST DR7 to investigate the velocity substructures in the Milky Way disk. The median radial velocity as…

The multiple corrugations in the Galactic disk derived from the LAMOST and Gaia survey data

Jifei Wang, Zhuohan Li, Chengdong Li +6

Large spectroscopic and astrometric surveys have revealed complex wave-like features in the Milky Way disk, suggesting that its kinematic and chemical structures are shaped by time…

Mapping the Milky Way with Gaia Bp/Rp spectra-IV: the broken and asymmetric density profile of the stellar disk traced by a large sample of red clumps

Wenbo Wu, Yuqin Chen, Jianhui Lian +10

This study explores the density profile of the stellar disk, radially and azimuthally, based on approximately 8.4 million red clump stars selected from Gaia Bp/Rp spectra. After co…

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…

Could very low-metallicity stars with rotation-dominated orbits have been shepherded by the bar?

Zhen Yuan, Chengdong Li, Nicolas F. Martin +11

The most metal-poor stars (e.g. [Fe/H] ) are the ancient fossils from the early assembly epoch of our Galaxy, very likely before the formation of the thick disc. Recent s…

Exploring the impact of a rapidly decelerating bar on transforming bulge orbits into disc-like orbits

Chengdong Li, Zhen Yuan, Giacomo Monari +7

The most metal-poor tail of the Milky Way ([Fe/H] 2.5) contains a population of stars with very prograde planar orbits, which is puzzling in both their origin and evoluti…

Detection of multiple phase space overdensities of GSE stars by orbit integration

WenboWu, GangZhao, JiangChang +5

In N-body simulations, nearly radial mergers can form shell-like overdensities in the sky position and phase space () due to the combination of dynamical friction and tidal…

Gaia DR3 features of the phase spiral and its possible relation to internal perturbations

Chengdong Li, Arnaud Siebert, Giacomo Monari +2

Disc stars from the Gaia DR3 RVS catalogue are selected to explore the phase spiral as a function of position in the Galaxy. The data reveal a two-armed phase spiral pattern in the…

Our Galaxy's youngest disc

Chengdong Li, James Binney

We investigate the structure of our Galaxy's young stellar disc by fitting the distribution functions (DFs) of a new family to five-dimensional Gaia data for a sample of …

Modelling the stellar halo with RR-Lyrae stars

Chengdong Li, James Binney

A seven-parameter distribution function (DF) is fitted to RR-Lyrae stars for which only astrometric data are available. The observational data are predicted by the DF in…
