APOGEE DR14/DR15 Abundances in the Inner Milky Way

G. Zasowski, M. Schultheis, S. Hasselquist +14

We present an overview of the distributions of 11 elemental abundances in the Milky Way's inner regions, as traced by APOGEE stars released as part of SDSS Data Release 14/15 (DR14…

A Collection of New Dwarf Galaxies in NGC5128's Western Halo

Matthew A. Taylor, Paul Eigenthaler, Thomas H. Puzia +5

We report the photometric properties of 16 dwarf galaxies, 15 of which are newly identified, in the Western halo of the nearby giant elliptical galaxy NGC5128. All candidates are f…

Project AMIGA: Distance and Metallicity Gradients Along Andromeda's Giant Southern Stream from the Red Clump

Roger E. Cohen, Jason S. Kalirai, Karoline M. Gilbert +7

The Giant Southern Stream (GSS) of M31, a keystone signature of a major accretion event, yields crucial constraints on M31 formation and evolution models. Currently, our understand…

New constraints on the nature and origin of the Leading Arm of the Magellanic Stream

P. Richter, A. J. Fox, B. P. Wakker +5

We present a new precision measurement of gas-phase abundances of S, O, N, Si, Fe, P, Al, Ca as well as molecular hydrogen (H_2) in the Leading Arm (region II, LAII) of the Magella…

The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey: II. Precision Cluster Abundances for APOGEE using SDSS DR14

John Donor, Peter M. Frinchaboy, Katia Cunha +12

The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping (OCCAM) survey aims to produce a comprehensive, uniform, infrared-based spectroscopic dataset for hundreds of open clusters, and to…

A chemical and kinematical analysis of the intermediate-age open cluster IC 166 from APOGEE and Gaia DR2

J. Schiappacasse-Ulloa, B. Tang, J. G. Fernández-Trincado +26

IC 166 is an intermediate-age open cluster ( Gyr) which lies in the transition zone of the metallicity gradient in the outer disc. Its location, combined with our very limi…

Disk-Like Chemistry of the Triangulum-Andromeda Overdensity as Seen by APOGEE

Christian R. Hayes, Steven R. Majewski, Sten Hasselquist +15

The nature of the Triangulum-Andromeda (TriAnd) system has been debated since the discovery of this distant, low-latitude Milky Way (MW) overdensity more than a decade ago. Explana…

The APOGEE-2 Survey of the Orion Star Forming Complex: I. Target Selection and Validation with early observations

J'Neil Cottle, Kevin R. Covey, Genaro Suárez +26

The Orion Star Forming Complex (OSFC) is a central target for the APOGEE-2 Young Cluster Survey. Existing membership catalogs span limited portions of the OSFC, reflecting the diff…

Chemical Abundances in the Leading Arm of the Magellanic Stream

Andrew J. Fox, Kathleen A. Barger, Bart P. Wakker +8

The Leading Arm (LA) of the Magellanic Stream is a vast debris field of H I clouds connecting the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. It represents an example of active gas accret…
