A 6D kinematic census identifies 18 anomalous Cepheids with extreme orbits, including one possibly scattered by globular cluster E3, and finds consistency between dynamical and stellar ages.
A neural network trained on simulations infers stripping times for Sagittarius stream stars from phase-space data, measuring a 0.3 dex/Gyr metallicity gradient and estimating ages for globular clusters such as Pal 12 and NGC 2419.
Spectroscopic members of the M92 stream yield a Milky Way bar pattern speed of 29.1 +0.7/-0.4 km s^{-1} kpc^{-1}.
Bi-CFM learns bidirectional mappings between initial and final state distributions to solve ill-posed inverse problems in chaotic systems, reporting metric improvements and speedups on Lorenz variants plus conservation-respecting results on three-body and globular cluster data.
Koposov 2 is shown to be an old (13.7 Gyr) star cluster with half-light radius 2.7 pc, absolute magnitude -0.95, and stellar mass 372 solar masses, supporting a star cluster classification over a dwarf galaxy.
Bar-induced migration can move ω Cen from the GSE phase-space region, but requires Ω_b ≲ 26 km s^{-1} kpc^{-1}, challenging consensus on the bar speed.
Young giant stars reveal a flaring Milky Way disc with 3.5 kpc radial scale and extended spiral arms including a curved Perseus segment and a new Scutum-associated feature.
A new crystallization index C_index ranks globular clusters by ordered radial and kinematic substructure from Gaia data, identifying a few complex systems but no evidence for phase-space features requiring explanations outside standard dynamics.
The Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus merger occurred 11.2 ± 0.1 Gyr ago, coinciding with the formation of a group of globular clusters and potentially leaving ω Centauri as its remnant, while placing disk formation at z ≳ 4.
Bulge Fossil Fragments are estimated to generate 15-250 times more binary black hole mergers than typical globular clusters, marking them as a new class of gravitational wave sources.
Gaia-HELIX is a new catalogue of 28,394 bona-fide Hα emitters identified in Gaia DR3 XP spectra, after removing 95% of initial candidates that were M-type star mimics.
A blind 12D chemo-dynamical clustering analysis with UMAP and HDBSCAN on SDSS-V DR19 and Gaia DR3 data recovers seven known halo substructures and reports five new tightly bound candidates FO1-FO5.
Spectroscopic survey of outer ω Centauri fields confirms 157 members with 93% success rate and traces tidal tails to 3.2 deg, showing kinematic and metallicity continuity with the cluster and Fimbulthul stream.
Optimized filters centered at 3920-3960 Angstrom yield metallicity estimates with 0.18-0.39 dex precision down to [Fe/H] ~ -4 for metal-poor stars from Gaia XP spectra, enabling a catalog of 14.5 million such stars.
The Sagittarius dwarf progenitor had a metallicity gradient of roughly -0.3 dex per kpc prior to infall.
Wideband observations show M28A giant pulses differ from FRB 20200120E bursts in duration, luminosity, timing statistics, and spectral structure, yielding no strong evidence for a direct link.
N-body simulations demonstrate that the inspiral of globular clusters in UGC 7346 results in the formation of a nuclear star cluster with mass (4.1-4.5)×10^5 solar masses within 1.5 Gyr.
The paper reports 21 previously unknown variable stars in M71 along with refined cluster parameters (age 12.9 Gyr, [Fe/H] = -0.88, E(B-V) = 0.21, distance modulus 13.01) from a decontaminated CMD.
New SBF distance confirms NGC5846_UDG1 lies in the NGC 5846 group and reconciles prior GC counts to ~50 members, supporting a massive dark matter halo.
GaiaNIR retains sensitivity to extended dark matter halos in globular clusters under strong extinction while Gaia degrades, enabling studies in obscured regions.
Six new faint isolated millisecond pulsars discovered in NGC 6517 and M15 using stacked power spectra from FAST observations.
N-body simulations show that mutual interactions between Terzan 2, 4, and 5 raise mass-loss rates for the smaller clusters and drive prolate deformations absent in isolated runs.
A unified JSONL/CSV corpus merges photometric, kinematic, dynamical, and chemical parameters for all 174 Milky Way globular clusters from Harris, Gaia EDR3, Baumgardt N-body, and APOGEE DR17 surveys.
