A Detailed Analysis of the Milky Way Warp Based on Classical Cepheids by Xiaoyue Zhou, Xiaodian Chen, Licai Deng, Shu Wang, Jiyu Wang, Jianxing Zhang

“…Classical Cepheids (CCs) are important probes for the large-scale warp structure of the Milky Way. Using Gaia Data Release 3 CCs, we establish an optimal time-dependent warp model, where the warp height increases with radius following a power law, the line of nodes (LONs) exhibit linear twisting with radius, following a leading spiral pattern, and the LONs undergo prograde evolution over time. …”
