Research on the Structure, Chemistry and Kinematics of the Milky Way Based on the Large-scale Sky Surveys
With the advent of massive large-scale sky surveys, such as, the SDSS for photometry, the LAMOST for spectroscopy, and Gaia for astrometry, we are entering a golden era of Galactic studies and precise multi-dimensional information (e.g., 3D position, 3D velocity, chemical element abundance ratios, and stellar age) is now available for some huge samples of stars in the Milky Way. Leveraging thes...

SgrA∗ spin and mass estimates through the detection of an extremely large mass-ratio inspiral
Estimating the spin of SgrA∗ is one of the current challenges we face in understanding the center of our Galaxy. In the present work, we show that detecting the gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by a brown dwarf inspiraling around SgrA∗ will allow us to measure the mass and the spin of SgrA∗ with unprecedented accuracy. Such systems are known as extremely large mass-ratio inspirals (XMRIs) a...

Dynamical Modelling of Galactic Kinematics using Neural Networks
The advent of integral field data has revolutionised the study of galaxy evolution. A key component of this is dynamical modelling methods which have allowed for crucial insights to be made from kinematic data. Despite this importance, most dynamical models make a number of key assumptions which do not hold for real galaxies. At the same time, machine learning methods are becoming increasingly ...

Kinematic Signatures of Circumbinary Discs: Spiral arms, Fast Flows, and Doppler Flips
Kinematic studies of protoplanetary discs are becoming a valuable method for uncovering hidden companions. While there exists a substantial amount of literature on the understanding of planet-disc interactions and their observational implications, little attention has been made towards circumbinary discs. Using 3D hydrodynamical simulations post-processed with Monte Carlo radiative transfer, I ...

4MOST Galactic pipeline: radial velocity and pysme stellar parameters
The 4-m Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST) is one of the ESO community survey with a large field-of-view to survey the southern sky in a few years, delivering spectra for ≥25 million objects over ≥15 000 square degrees in R~6000 and R~20000. 4MOST is currently in its manufacturing, assembly, integration and test phase with an expected start of full science operations within a year. ...
