Structure and Dynamics of the Young Massive Star Cluster Westerlund 1

Lingfeng Wei, Matthew W. Hosek, Jessica R. Lu +8

We present a structural analysis of the young massive star cluster Westerlund 1 (Wd 1). With multi-epoch Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations, we measure the proper motions of…

The 3D Kinematics of the Orion Nebula Cluster II: Mass-dependent Kinematics of the Inner Cluster

Lingfeng Wei, Christopher A. Theissen, Quinn M. Konopacky +3

We present the kinematic analysis of stars within $4\mbox{$^\prime$}$ from the center of Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC), the closest massive star cluster with active star formati…

Hiding Planets Near and Far: The Parameter Space of Hidden Companions for Known Planetary Systems

Thea Faridani, Smadar Naoz, Lingfeng Wei +1

Recent ground and space-based observations show that stars with multiple planets are common in the galaxy. Most of these observational methods are biased toward detecting large pla…

Relativistic Dynamical Stability Criterion of Multi-Planet Systems with a Distant Companion

Lingfeng Wei, Smadar Naoz, Thea Faridani +1

Multi-planetary systems are prevalent in our Galaxy. The long-term stability of such systems may be disrupted if a distant inclined companion excites the eccentricity and inclinati…

The 3-D Kinematics of the Orion Nebula Cluster: NIRSPEC-AO Radial Velocities of the Core Population

Christopher A. Theissen, Quinn M. Konopacky, Jessica R. Lu +5

The kinematics and dynamics of stellar and substellar populations within young, still-forming clusters provides valuable information for constraining theories of formation mechanis…
