    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 Tale of Two Disks: Mapping the Milky Way with the Final Data Release of APOGEE
    We present new maps of the Milky Way disk showing the distribution of metallicity ([Fe/H]), α-element abundances ([Mg/Fe]), and stellar age, using a sample of...

    Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Mapping Disk Populations with a 2-process Model and Residual Abundances
    We apply a novel statistical analysis to measurements of 16 elemental abundances in 34,410 Milky Way disk stars from the final data release (DR17) of APOGEE-2...

    Diagonal Ridge Pattern of Different Age Populations Found in Gaia-DR2 with LAMOST Main-sequence Turnoff and OB-type Stars
    We revisit the diagonal ridge feature (diagonal distributions in the R, v φ plane) found in Gaia and present a timing analysis for it between Galactocentric...

    Evidence for Population-dependent Vertical Motions and the Long-lived Nonsteady Lopsided Milky Way Warp
    We present a Galactic disk vertical velocity analysis using OB type stars (OB stars), red clump (RC) stars, and main-sequence turnoff (MSTO) stars with...

    Exploring the Galactic Warp through Asymmetries in the Kinematics of the Galactic Disk
    Previous analyses of large databases of Milky Way stars have revealed the stellar disk of our Galaxy to be warped and that this imparts a strong signature on...

    Mapping the Milky Way Disk with Gaia DR3: 3D Extended Kinematic Maps and Rotation Curve to ≈30 kpc
    We apply a statistical deconvolution of the parallax errors based on Lucy's inversion method (LIM) to the Gaia DR3 sources to measure their 3D velocity...
