Turbulence in outer protoplanetary disks
<p>Turbulence is essential to many fundamental processes in protoplanetary disks, including angular momentum transport, dust evolution, and planet migration. I will focus on two instabilities that can drive turbulent motions in outer disks. In the first part of this talk, a series of global 3D non-ideal MHD simulations via Athena++ code will be presented. The outer disk is found to be weakly MRI t...</p>

Towards Precision Astrophysics for Warm Ionized Gas
<p>Understanding the physics of the interstellar medium is critical for understanding star formation and AGN feedback. Line ratio diagnostics diagrams, such as BPT diagrams, have been extensively used to study the ISM. However, their limitations hide inaccuracies of photoionization models, leading to a number of discrepant results in the literature on metallicity, abundance pattern, and correlatio...</p>

Semi-analytic spectral fitting: simultaneously modelling the mass accumulation and chemical evolution in MaNGA spiral galaxies
<p>We develop a novel semi-analytic spectral fitting approach to quantify the star-formation histories (SFHs) and chemical enrichment histories (ChEHs) of individual galaxies. We construct simple yet general chemical evolution models that account for gas inflow and outflow processes as well as star formation, to investigate the evolution of merger-free star-forming systems. These models are fitted...</p>

The Milky Way Halo Stars toward the Galactic Center
The halo stars on highly radial orbits should inevitably pass the center regions of the Milky Way, although they are hard to be detected from the crowded bulge/bar. Under the assumption that the stell...

High-precision Astrometry (高精度天体测量)
Astrometry opened the era of modern astronomy/physics and plays a crucial role in contemporary astronomy, including the measurement of the three-dimensional structure of the Milky Way, black hole dete...

Bridging geometric and wave optics through the complex plane
Much of the lensing effects in astrophysics can be adequately described using geometric optics, where light from a point source can be split into multiple magnified images. In coherent sources, such ...

Testing General Relativity with black hole X-ray data: recent progress and future developments
The theory of General Relativity has successfully passed a large number of observational tests. The theory has been extensively tested in the weak-field regime with experiments in the Solar System and...

Galactic Mass and Anisotropy Profile with Halo K-Giant and Blue Horizontal Branch Stars from LAMOST/SDSS and Gaia
A major uncertainty in the determination of the mass profile of the Milky Way using stellar kinematics is the poorly determined anisotropy parameter, beta = 1 - ( ( (sigma_theta)**2 + (sigma_phi)**2 )...

Stormy weather on brown dwarfs and isolated young giant planets
Brown dwarfs and relatively isolated young extrasolar giant planets occupy an important parameter space to understand planetary atmospheres. Recent observations of these worlds have provided unprecede...
