Tracing chemical evolution over the extent of the Milky Way's Disk with APOGEE Red Clump Stars

David L. Nidever, Jo Bovy, Jonathan C. Bird +40

We employ the first two years of data from the near-infrared, high-resolution SDSS-III/APOGEE spectroscopic survey to investigate the distribution of metallicity and alpha-element…

The Open Cluster Chemical Analysis and Mapping Survey: Local Galactic Metallicity Gradient with APOGEE using SDSS DR10

Peter M. Frinchaboy, Benjamin Thompson, Kelly M. Jackson +31

The Open Cluster Chemical Analysis and Mapping (OCCAM) Survey aims to produce a comprehensive, uniform, infrared-based dataset for hundreds of open clusters, and constrain key Gala…

High-resolution, H band Spectroscopy of Be Stars with SDSS-III/APOGEE: I. New Be Stars, Line Identifications, and Line Profiles

S. Drew Chojnowski, David G. Whelan, John P. Wisniewski +26

APOGEE has amassed the largest ever collection of multi-epoch, high-resolution (R~22,500), H-band spectra for B-type emission line (Be) stars. The 128/238 APOGEE Be stars for which…

Quasar-Lyman Forest Cross-Correlation from BOSS DR11 : Baryon Acoustic Oscillations

Andreu Font-Ribera, David Kirkby, Nicolas Busca +40

We measure the large-scale cross-correlation of quasars with the Lyman alpha forest absorption, using over 164,000 quasars from Data Release 11 of the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation S…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasar catalog: tenth data release

Isabelle Pâris, Patrick Petitjean, Éric Aubourg +47

We present the Data Release 10 Quasar (DR10Q) catalog from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. The catalog includes all BOSS obj…

The Large-scale Distribution of Cool Gas around Luminous Red Galaxies

Guangtun Zhu, Brice Ménard, Dmitry Bizyaev +12

We present a measurement of the correlation function between luminous red galaxies and cool gas traced by Mg II λλ2796, 2803 absorption, on scales ranging from about 30 kpc to 20…
