Milky Way Dynamics Favor Dark Matter over Modified Gravity Models
Zheng-long Wang, Yue-Lin Sming Tsai, Lan Zhang +5
Modified gravity theories such as Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and Scalar-Tensor-Vector Gravity (STVG) have been proposed as alternatives to dark matter, but decisive tests h…
Milky Way Mass Through Escape Velocity Curve from LAMOST K Giants
Yin Wu, Haining Li, Yang Huang +2
Escape velocity has long been used to constrain the mass of the Dark Matter (DM) halo in the Milky Way (MW). Here we present a study of the escape velocity curve using a sample of…
The Stellar Abundances and Galactic Evolution Survey (SAGES). IV. Surface Gravity Estimation and Giant-Dwarf Separation with the DDO51 Filter
Qiqian Zhang, Zhou Fan, Gang Zhao +16
Reliable estimation of stellar surface gravity (log ) for a large sample is crucial for evaluating stellar evolution models and understanding galactic structure; However, it is…
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…
