Temporal-spatial distribution of YSOs nearby Taurus region
Fang, Min; Deng, Licai; Wang, Xiaolong +3 more
The Taurus region is one of the most extensively studied star-forming regions (SFRs). Surveys indicate that the young stars in this region are comprised of young stellar objects (YSOs) that cluster in groups associated with the molecular cloud (Grouped Young Stellar Objects, GYSOs), and some older ones that are sparsely distributed throughout the …
The nearest neutron star candidate in a binary revealed by optical time-domain surveys
Liu, Jifeng; Weng, Shan-Shan; Bai, Yu +19 more
The near-Earth (within ∼100 pc) supernova explosions in the past several million years can cause the global deposition of radioactive elements (e.g., 60Fe) on Earth. The remnants of such supernovae are too old to be easily identified. It is therefore of great interest to search for million-year-old near-Earth neutron stars or black hole…
Compact object candidates with K/M-dwarf companions from LAMOST low-resolution survey
Gu, Wei-Min; Sou, Hao; Yi, Tuan +6 more
Searching for compact objects (black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs) in the Milky Way is essential for understanding the stellar evolution history, the physics of compact objects, and the structure of our Galaxy. Compact objects in binaries with a luminous stellar companion are perfect targets for optical observations. Candidate compact obj…
The mass of our Milky Way
Ishigaki, Miho N.; Cautun, Marius; Wang, WenTing +2 more
We perform an extensive review of the numerous studies and methods used to determine the total mass of the Milky Way. We group the various studies into seven broad classes according to their modeling approaches. The classes include: i) estimating Galactic escape velocity using high velocity objects; ii) measuring the rotation curve through termina…
