On the Metallicity and Origin of the Smith High-Velocity Cloud

Andrew J. Fox, Nicolas Lehner, Felix J. Lockman +7

The Smith Cloud is a gaseous high-velocity cloud (HVC) in an advanced state of accretion, only 2.9 kpc below the Galactic plane and due to impact the disk in 27 Myr. It is unique a…

APOGEE Kinematics I: Overview of the Kinematics of the Galactic Bulge as Mapped by APOGEE

M. Ness, G. Zasowski, J. A. Johnson +12

We present the stellar kinematics across the Galactic bulge and into the disk at positive longitudes from the SDSS-III APOGEE spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way. APOGEE includes…

Down-the-barrel and transverse observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud: evidence for a symmetrical galactic wind on the near and far sides of the galaxy

Kat Barger, Nicolas Lehner, J. Chris Howk

We compare the properties of gas flows on both the near and far side of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) disk using Hubble Space Telescope UV absorption-line observations toward an…

Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Metallicity Distribution Functions and the Chemical Structure of the Milky Way Disk

Michael R. Hayden, Jo Bovy, Jon A. Holtzman +32

Using a sample of 69,919 red giants from the SDSS-III/APOGEE Data Release 12, we measure the distribution of stars in the [/Fe] vs. [Fe/H] plane and the metallicity distribution…

Abundances, Stellar Parameters, and Spectra From the SDSS-III/APOGEE Survey

Jon A. Holtzman, Matthew Shetrone, Jennifer A. Johnson +39

The SDSS-III/APOGEE survey operated from 2011-2014 using the APOGEE spectrograph, which collects high-resolution (R~22,500), near-IR (1.51-1.70 microns) spectra with a multiplexing…
