Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Large-scale Mean Metallicity Maps of the Milky Way

Michael R. Hayden, Jon A. Holtzman, Jo Bovy +27

We present Galactic mean metallicity maps derived from the first year of the SDSS-III APOGEE experiment. Mean abundances in different zones of Galactocentric radius (0 < R < 15 kpc…

Shock Excited Molecules in NGC 1266: ULIRG conditions at the center of a Bulge Dominated Galaxy

E. W. Pellegrini, J. D. Smith, M. G. Wolfire +28

We investigate the far infrared spectrum of NGC 1266, a S0 galaxy that contains a massive reservoir of highly excited molecular gas. Using the SPIRE-FTS, we detect the CO la…

3D stellar kinematics at the Galactic center: measuring the nuclear star cluster spatial density profile, black hole mass, and distance

T. Do, G. D. Martinez, S. Yelda +6

We present 3D kinematic observations of stars within the central 0.5 pc of the Milky Way nuclear star cluster using adaptive optics imaging and spectroscopy from the Keck telescope…

Chemodynamics of the Milky Way. I. The first year of APOGEE data

F. Anders, C. Chiappini, B. X. Santiago +38

We investigate the chemo-kinematic properties of the Milky Way disc by exploring the first year of data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), an…

High-resolution absorption spectroscopy of the circumgalactic medium of the Milky Way

P. Richter, A. J. Fox, N. Ben Bekhti +3

In this article we discuss the importance of high-resolution absorption spectroscopy for our understanding of the distribution and physical nature of the gaseous circumgalactic med…

Hot Galactic Winds Constrained by the X-Ray Luminosities of Galaxies

Dong Zhang, Todd A. Thompson, Norman Murray +1

Galactic superwinds may be driven by very hot outflows generated by overlapping supernovae within the host galaxy. We use the Chevalier & Clegg (CC85) wind model and the observed c…
