Mapping the Three-Dimensional "X-Shaped Structure" in Models of the Galactic Bulge
Zhao-Yu Li, Juntai Shen
Numerical simulations have shown that the X-shaped structure in the Milky Way bulge can naturally arise from the bar instability and buckling instability. To understand the influen…

Theoretical Models of the Galactic Bulge
Juntai Shen, Zhao-Yu Li
Near infrared images from the COBE satellite presented the first clear evidence that our Milky Way galaxy contains a boxy shaped bulge. Recent years have witnessed a gradual paradi…

Kinematics of the X-shaped Milky Way Bulge: Expectations from a Self-consistent N-body Model
Yujing Qin, Juntai Shen, Zhao-Yu Li +5
We explore the kinematics (both the radial velocity and the proper motion) of the vertical X-shaped feature in the Milky Way with an N-body bar/bulge model. From the solar perspect…
