Deconstruction of galaxies: bulges, disks, and stellar halos --- insights from the IllustrisTNG Simulations
In this project, we aim to understand structures in galaxies from a deconstructive perspective. In a series of papers, we have developed an accurate, efficient, and unsupervised way that extracts structures of simulated galaxies in kinematics. We successfully identify kinematically-derived bulge, disk, and halo structures that have clear physical formation mechanisms in the IllustrisTNG simulat...

Adaptive Optics Facility and MUSE at the VLT-UT4
In this talk, I will present the Adaptive Optics Facility (AOF) and the MUSE instrument at VLT/UT4. AOF is the new generation cutting-edge adaptive optics system for the instruments at UT4. With the high-performance deformable secondary mirror and 4 laser guide stars system, AOF enables to correct atmospheric turbulence effects on the optical wavelength, facilitating the Multi-Unit Spectrosco...

The Power of Milky Way's Stellar Streams Enabled by Multi-Object Spectroscopic Surveys
In this talk, I will discuss two ongoing spectroscopic programs to study the stellar streams in our Milky Way and highlight a few latest scientific results from these two programs. The Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (S5), started in 2018, is the first systematic program pursuing a complete census of known streams in the Southern Hemisphere. The science results from S5 include a ho...

脉冲星自转减慢和高速中子星：中子超流涡旋体的中微子辐射及其效应
1)首先介绍近年来脉冲星观测的(P-Pdot)图同国际流行的脉冲星自转减慢的磁偶极辐射理论(标准模型)预言的明显矛盾。其次介绍1982年我们提出的中子超流涡旋体的中微子辐射理论模型。2) 在1982年我们的理论基础上,我们提出了这五十年来天文观测发现的高速中子星的物理起源于我们的 “中子超流涡旋体的中微子辐射喷流模型”。Host: Tipei L

A dynamical model and structure decomposition of barred galaxies
Galaxy structures are fossil records of their assembly history. Modern IFU spectrographs offer the ability to map the spatial distribution of the motions, ages, and chemical abundances of stars in galaxies, which provide unprecedented detailed view of galaxies structures. But the information are still blended along the line-of-sight. Decomposition of galactic structures in a physical way is cha...
