    QSO2 outflow characterization using data obtained with OSIRIS at the Gran Telescopio Canarias
    Context. Ionized outflows are ubiquitous in non-radio-loud obscured quasars (QSO2s) at different redshifts. However, the actual size of the outflows and their...

    Quantifying radial migration in the Milky Way: inefficient over short time-scales but essential to the very outer disc beyond 15 kpc
    Stellar radial migration plays an important role in reshaping a galaxy's structure and the radial distribution of stellar population properties. In this work...

    Radial Velocities in the Outermost Disk toward the Anticenter
    We measure the mean Galactocentric radial component of the velocity of stars (v R ) in the disk at 8 kpc R 28 kpc in the direction of the anticenter. For this...
