The Pillars of Creation in M16 represent an iconic star-forming region where stellar feedback shapes molecular cloud evolution. We present a detailed investigation of dust extincti…
Astrometric mass measurement of compact companions in binary systems with Gaia
Yilun Wang, Shilong Liao, Nicola Giacobbo +3
For binary systems with an unseen primary and a luminous secondary, the astrometric wobble of the secondary could be used to study the primary. With Gaia, it is possible to measure…

Yuxi Wang, Jian Gao, Yi Ren
The dust extinction laws and dust properties in M31 are explored with a sample of reddened O-type and B-type supergiants obtained from the LGGS. The observed spectral energy distri…
Evolved Massive Stars at Low-metallicity IV. Using 1.6 m "H-bump" to identify red supergiant stars: a case study of NGC 6822
Ming Yang, Alceste Z. Bonanos, Biwei Jiang +9
We present a case study of using a novel method to identify red supergiant (RSG) candidates in NGC 6822, based on their 1.6 m "H-bump". We collected 32 bands of photometric data…
Evolved Massive Stars at Low-metallicity III. A Source Catalog for the Large Magellanic Cloud
Ming Yang, Alceste Z. Bonanos, Biwei Jiang +9
We present a clean, magnitude-limited (IRAC1 or WISE115.0 mag) multiwavelength source catalog for the LMC. The catalog was built upon crossmatching () and deblending ($3…
Distances to the Supernova Remnants in the Inner Disk
Shu Wang, Chengyu Zhang, Biwei Jiang +5
Distance measurements of supernova remnants (SNRs) are essential and important. Accurate estimates of physical size, dust masses, and some other properties of SNRs depend criticall…
