New M, L, and T Dwarf Companions to Nearby Stars from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer
Kevin L. Luhman, Nicholas P. Loutrel, Nicholas S. McCurdy +8
We present 11 candidate late-type companions to nearby stars identified with data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS). Eig…
Spatially resolved spectroscopy of the globular cluster RZ 2109 and the nature of its black hole
Mark B. Peacock, Stephen E. Zepf, Arunav Kundu +7
We present optical HST/STIS spectroscopy of RZ 2109, a globular cluster in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. This globular cluster is notable for hosting an ultraluminous X-ray sourc…
The Disk Population of the Upper Scorpius Association
K. L. Luhman, E. E. Mamajek
We present photometry at 3-24um for all known members of the Upper Scorpius association (~11 Myr) based on all images of these objects obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope and…
The Milky Way's circular velocity curve between 4 and 14 kpc from APOGEE data
Jo Bovy, Carlos Allende Prieto, Timothy C. Beers +30
We measure the Milky Way's rotation curve over the Galactocentric range 4 kpc <~ R <~ 14 kpc from the first year of data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experi…
The Formation and Early Evolution of Low-mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs
Kevin L. Luhman
The discovery of large numbers of young low-mass stars and brown dwarfs over the last decade has made it possible to investigate star formation and early evolution in a previously…
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment: First Detection of High Velocity Milky Way Bar Stars
David L. Nidever, Gail Zasowski, Steven R. Majewski +33
Commissioning observations with the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III, have produced radial velocities (RVs)…
YSOVAR: Six pre-main-sequence eclipsing binaries in the Orion Nebula Cluster
M. Morales-Calderón, J. R. Stauffer, K. G. Stassun +17
Eclipsing binaries (EBs) provide critical laboratories for empirically testing predictions of theoretical models of stellar structure and evolution. Pre-main-sequence (PMS) EBs are…
On the Spectroscopic Classes of Novae in M33
A. W. Shafter, M. J. Darnley, M. F. Bode +1
We report the initial results from an ongoing multi-year spectroscopic survey of novae in M33. The survey resulted in the spectroscopic classification of six novae (M33N 2006-09a,…
A Short Scale Length for the α-Enhanced Thick Disk of the Milky Way: Evidence from Low-Latitude SEGUE Data
Judy Y. Cheng, Constance M. Rockosi, Heather L. Morrison +12
We examine the α-element abundance ratio, [α/Fe], of 5620 stars, observed by the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration survey in the region 6 kpc < R < 16 kpc,…
The Milky Way Project: A statistical study of massive star formation associated with infrared bubbles
Sarah Kendrew, Robert J. Simpson, Eli Bressert +6
The Milky Way Project citizen science initiative recently increased the number of known infrared bubbles in the inner Galactic plane by an order of magnitude compared to previous s…
Investigating stellar-mass black hole kicks
Serena Repetto, Melvyn B. Davies, Steinn Sigurdsson
We investigate whether stellar-mass black holes have to receive natal kicks in order to explain the observed distribution of low-mass X-ray binaries containing black holes within o…
Identifying High Metallicity M Giants at Intragroup Distances with SDSS
Lauren E. Palladino, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Heather Morrison +6
Tidal stripping and three-body interactions with the central supermassive black hole may eject stars from the Milky Way. These stars would comprise a set of `intragroup' stars that…
Spectrum and Morphology of the Two Brightest Milagro Sources in the Cygnus Region: MGRO J2019+37 and MGRO J2031+41
A. A. Abdo, B. T. Allen, T. Aune +26
The Cygnus region is a very bright and complex portion of the TeV sky, host to unidentified sources and a diffuse excess with respect to conventional cosmic-ray propagation models.…
The Milky Way Project First Data Release: A Bubblier Galactic Disk
R. J. Simpson, M. S. Povich, S. Kendrew +9
We present a new catalogue of 5,106 infrared bubbles created through visual classification via the online citizen science website 'The Milky Way Project'. Bubbles in the new catalo…
