Stellar kinematics is the astrophysical study of the movement of stars in galaxies. Through the observation of the motion of stars, astronomers are able to infer galaxies' mass distribution, gravitational potential, and dynamical evolution, including the existence of dark matter.Current stellar kinematics depends on precise astrometric and spectroscopic surveys like Gaia, which offers precise proper motions, parallaxes, and radial velocities of billions of stars. Aided by N-body simulations, these observations enable thorough investigations of galactic evolution and dynamics.Altogether, stellar kinematics offers invaluable information on the motion, dynamics, and structure of galaxies and stars. Through stellar velocities, astronomers are able to trace gravitational potentials, identify dark matter, and reveal the evolution history of galaxy formation and interaction, making it a foundation of astrophysical studies.
