The Eighteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Targeting and First Spectra from SDSS-V

Andrés Almeida, Scott F. Anderson, Maria Argudo-Fernández +151

The eighteenth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS) is the first one for SDSS-V, the fifth generation of the survey. SDSS-V comprises three primary scientific progr…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: How the stellar populations of passive central galaxies depend on stellar and halo mass

Grecco A. Oyarzun, Kevin Bundy, Kyle B. Westfall +23

We analyze spatially resolved and co-added SDSS-IV MaNGA spectra with signal-to-noise ~100 from 2200 passive central galaxies (z~0.05) to understand how central galaxy assembly dep…

Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Mapping Disk Populations with a Two-Process Model and Residual Abundances

David H. Weinberg, Jon A. Holtzman, Jennifer A. Johnson +33

We apply a novel statistical analysis to measurements of 16 elemental abundances in 34,410 Milky Way disk stars from the final data release (DR17) of APOGEE-2. Building on recent w…

Signatures of inflowing gas in red geyser galaxies hosting radio-AGN

Namrata Roy, Kevin Bundy, Kate H. R. Rubin +10

We study cool neutral gas traced by NaD absorption in 140 local ( early-type ``red geyser'' galaxies. These galaxies show unique signatures in spatially-resolved strong…

SDSS-IV MANGA: A Star Formation -- Baryonic Mass Relation at Kpc Scales

J. K. Barrera-Ballesteros, T. Heckman, S. F. Sanchez +11

Star formation rate density, , has shown a remarkable correlation with both components of the baryonic mass at kpc scales (i.e., the stellar mass density, and the mole…

SPIDERS: overview of the X-ray galaxy cluster follow-up and the final spectroscopic data release

N. Clerc, C. C. Kirkpatrick, A. Finoguenov +19

SPIDERS (The SPectroscopic IDentification of eROSITA Sources) is a large spectroscopic programme for X-ray selected galaxy clusters as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-IV (SDSS…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: spatially resolved dust attenuation in spiral galaxies

Michael J. Greener, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca, Michael R. Merrifield +9

Dust attenuation in star-forming spiral galaxies affects stars and gas in different ways due to local variations in dust geometry. We present spatially resolved measurements of dus…

Anomalously low metallicity regions in MaNGA star-forming galaxies: Accretion Caught in Action?

Hsiang-Chih Hwang, Jorge K. Barrera-Ballesteros, Timothy M. Heckman +14

We use data from 1222 late-type star-forming galaxies in the SDSS IV MaNGA survey to identify regions in which the gas-phase metallicity is anomalously-low compared to expectations…

Probing the kinematic morphology-density relation of early-type galaxies with MaNGA

J. E. Greene, A. Leauthaud, E. Emsellem +17

The "kinematic" morphology-density relation for early-type galaxies posits that those galaxies with low angular momentum are preferentially found in the highest-density regions of…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Spatially resolved star formation histories in galaxies as a function of galaxy mass and type

Daniel Goddard, Daniel Thomas, Claudia Maraston +25

We study the internal gradients of stellar population properties within for a representative sample of 721 galaxies with stellar masses ranging between $10^{9}\;M_…

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…

Tracing Sagittarius Structure with SDSS and SEGUE Imaging and Spectroscopy

Brian Yanny, Heidi Jo Newberg, Jennifer A. Johnson +12

We show that the Sagittarius dwarf tidal stream can be traced with very red K/M-giant stars selected from SDSS photometry. A subset of these stars are spectroscopically confirmed w…
