Stellar multiplicity and stellar rotation: Insights from APOGEE

Christine Mazzola Daher, Carles Badenes, Jamie Tayar +18

We measure rotational broadening in spectra taken by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey to characterise the relationship between stellar mul…

The ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters. VII. Relative Ages

Antonio Marin-Franch, Antonio Aparicio, Giampaolo Piotto +13

The ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters is a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Treasury program designed to provide a new large, deep and homogeneous photometric database. Based on…

Double-lined spectroscopic binaries in the APOGEE DR16 and DR17 data

Marina Kounkel, Kevin R. Covey, Keivan G. Stassun +25

APOGEE spectra offer 1 km s precision in the measurement of stellar radial velocities (RVs). This holds even when multiple stars are captured in the same spectrum,…

SDSS-IV MaStar -- A Large and Comprehensive Empirical Stellar Spectral Library: First Release

Renbin Yan, Yanping Chen, Daniel Lazarz +45

We present the first release of the MaNGA Stellar Library (MaStar), which is a large, well-calibrated, high-quality empirical library covering the wavelength range of 3,622-10,354A…

The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment

Bela Abolfathi, D. S. Aguado, Gabriela Aguilar +344

The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) has been in operation since July 2014. This paper describes the second data release from this phase, and the fourtee…

The SDSS-III APOGEE Spectral Line List for H-band Spectroscopy

Matthew Shetrone, Dmitry Bizyaev, James Lawler +15

We present the -band spectral line lists adopted by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). The APOGEE line lists comprise astrophysical, theoretica…

Variable stars in the field of the Hydra II ultra-faint dwarf galaxy

A. Katherina Vivas, Knut Olsen, Robert Blum +12

We report the discovery of one RR Lyrae star in the ultra--faint satellite galaxy Hydra II based on time series photometry in the g, r and i bands obtained with the Dark Energy Cam…

Magnetic Fields in a sample of planet-hosting M dwarf stars from Kepler, K2, and TESS observed by APOGEE

Fábio Wanderley, Katia Cunha, Verne Smith +8

Stellar magnetic fields have a major impact on space weather around exoplanets orbiting low-mass stars. From an analysis of Zeeman-broadened Fe I lines measured in near-infrared SD…

Infrared High-Resolution Integrated Light Spectral Analyses of M31 Globular Clusters from APOGEE

Charli M. Sakari, Matthew D. Shetrone, Ricardo P. Schiavon +10

Chemical abundances are presented for 25 M31 globular clusters (GCs), based on moderately high resolution (R = 22, 500) H-band integrated light spectra from the Apache Point Observ…

Probing the Structure and Kinematics of the transition Layer between the Magellanic Stream and the Halo in HI

Lou Nigra, Snezana Stanimirovic, John S. Gallagher +3

The Magellanic Stream (MS) is a nearby laboratory for studying the fate of cool gas streams injected into a gaseous galactic halo. We investigate properties of the boundary layer b…

The ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters. IX. Horizontal Branch Morphology and the Second Parameter Phenomenon

Aaron Dotter, Ata Sarajedini, Jay Anderson +11

The horizontal branch (HB) morphology of globular clusters (GCs) is most strongly influenced by metallicity. The second parameter phenomenon acknowledges that metallicity alone is…

SEGUE-2 and APOGEE: Revealing the History of the Milky Way

Constance Rockosi, Timothy C. Beers, Steven Majewski +3

The history of the Milky Way is encoded in the spatial distributions, kinematics, and chemical enrichment patterns of its resolved stellar populations. SEGUE-2 and APOGEE, two of t…

The Close Binary Fraction as a Function of Stellar Parameters in APOGEE: A Strong Anti-Correlation With Abundances

Christine N. Mazzola, Carles Badenes, Maxwell Moe +20

We use observations from the APOGEE survey to explore the relationship between stellar parameters and multiplicity. We combine high-resolution repeat spectroscopy for 41,363 dwarf…

Exploring Halo Substructure with Giant Stars: The Nature of the Triangulum-Andromeda Stellar Features

Allyson Sheffield, Kathryn Johnston, Steven Majewski +4

As large-scale stellar surveys have become available over the past decade, the ability to detect and characterize substructures in the Galaxy has increased dramatically. These surv…
