Reconstructing the Stripping History of the Sagittarius Stream with Neural Networks
Jian Zhang, Cuihua Du, Mingji Deng +2
The Sagittarius (Sgr) Stream is produced by the ongoing disruption of the Sgr dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy and is thought to contain multiple wraps that were stripped during diff…
Revisiting candidate high-velocity stars associated with the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy
Jian Zhang, Cuihua Du, Mingji Deng +2
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are valuable tracers of extreme dynamical processes. The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph), currently undergoing tidal disruption, offers a…
A Low-mass Model of The Milky Way: The Disk Warp Resulting from A Galaxy Merger
Mingji Deng, Cuihua Du, Jian Zhang +2
Previous studies have shown that disk warps can result from galaxy mergers. Recent research indicates a noticeable decline in the rotation curve (RC) of the Milky Way (MW), suggest…
Kinematic, Elemental and Structural Dependences on Metallicity in the Galactic Bulge
Haoyang Liu, Cuihua Du, Zhongcheng Li +2
We selected Bulge stars from APOGEE DR17 cross-matched with astrometric data from \textit{Gaia} DR3. Bulge stars were divided into sub-samples with line-of-sight velocity dispersio…
Investigate Substructures of the Inner Halo Using the StarGO Algorithm with APOGEE DR17
Zhongcheng Li, Cuihua Du, Haoyang Liu +1
We applied Stars' Galactic Origin (StarGO) algorithm in 7D space (i.e., [Fe/H], [Mg/Fe], [Al/Fe], , , , ) to analyze stars in the inner halo with APOGEE DR1…
