    A Case against a Significant Detection of Precession in the Galactic Warp

    Recent studies of warp kinematics using Gaia DR2 data have produced detections of warp precession for the first time, which greatly exceeds theoretical...

    A cold massive interstellar cloud within 120 parsecs of the Sun: K I optical and H I radio observations

    We first discovered the presence of a particularly massive cloud in the neighborhood of the Sun, close to the Galactic plane in the direction of Perseus, toward...

    A Comprehensive View of a Strongly Lensed Planck-Associated Submillimeter Galaxy

    We present high-resolution maps of stars, dust, and molecular gas in a strongly lensed submillimeter galaxy (SMG) at z = 3.259. HATLAS J114637.9-001132 is...

    A Consistency Test of Spectroscopic Gravities for Late-Type Stars

    Chemical analyses of late-type stars are usually carried out following the classical recipe: LTE line formation and homogeneous, plane-parallel, flux-constant...

    A Constraint on Brown Dwarf Formation Via Ejection: Radial Variation of the Stellar and Substellar Mass Function of the Young Open Cluster IC 2391

    We present the stellar and substellar mass function (MF) of the open cluster IC 2391, plus its radial dependence, and use this to put constraints on the...

    A Correlation between Galaxy Light Concentration and Supermassive Black Hole Mass

    We present evidence for a strong correlation between the concentration of bulges and the mass of their central supermassive black hole (Mbh)-more concentrated...

    A Correlation between Light Concentration and Cluster Local Density for Elliptical Galaxies

    Using photometric and redshift data for the Virgo and Coma Clusters, we present evidence for a correlation between the light concentration of elliptical...

    A Correlation between Light Profile and [Mg/Fe] Abundance Ratio in Early-Type Galaxies

    We explore possible correlations between light profile shapes, as parameterized by the Sérsic index n or the concentration index Cre(1/3), and relevant stellar...

    A Counterrotating Central Component in the Barred Galaxy NGC 5728

    We present a detailed study of the stellar kinematics in the barred galaxy NGC 5728 based on I-band photometry and long-slit spectroscopic observations in the...
