APOGEE [C/N] Abundances Across the Galaxy: Migration and Infall from Red Giant Ages

Sten Hasselquist, Jon A. Holtzman, Matthew Shetrone +14

We present [C/N]-[Fe/H] abundance trends from the SDSS-IV Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey, Data Release 14 (DR14), for red giant branch stars…

Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Multi-element abundance ratios

David H. Weinberg, Jon A. Holtzman, Sten Hasselquist +25

We map the trends of elemental abundance ratios across the Galactic disk, spanning R = 3-15 kpc and midplane distance |Z|= 0-2 kpc, for 15 elements in a sample of 20,485 stars meas…

Dancing in the Dark: Uncertainty in ultra-faint dwarf galaxy predictions from cosmological simulations

Ferah Munshi, Alyson M. Brooks, Charlotte Christensen +4

The existence of ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies highlights the need to push our theoretical understanding of galaxies to extremely low mass. We examine the formation of UFDs by t…

Deep Extragalactic VIsible Legacy Survey (DEVILS): Motivation, Design and Target Catalogue

L. J. M. Davies, A. S. G. Robotham, S. P. Driver +26

The Deep Extragalactic VIsible Legacy Survey (DEVILS) is a large spectroscopic campaign at the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) aimed at bridging the near and distant Universe by p…

Multimessenger Signatures of Massive Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies

Jillian Bellovary, Colleen Cleary, Ferah Munshi +4

Recent discoveries of massive black holes (MBHs) in dwarf galaxies suggest that they may have a more common presence than once thought. Systematic searches are revealing more candi…

The Stellar Orbital Structure in Axisymmetric Galaxy Models with Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

Baile Li, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Fazeel Mahmood Khan

It has been well-established that particular centrophilic orbital families in non-spherical galaxies can, in principle, drive a black hole binary to shrink its orbit through three-…

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…

Layers in the Central Orion Nebula

C. R. O'Dell

The existence of multiple layers in the inner Orion Nebula has been revealed using data from an Atlas of spectra at 2" and 12 km/s resolution. These data were sometimes grouped ove…

Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA): Variation in Galaxy Structure Across the Green Valley

Lee S. Kelvin, Malcolm N. Bremer, Steven Phillipps +26

Using a sample of 472 local Universe (z<0.06) galaxies in the stellar mass range 10.25 < log M*/M_sun < 10.75, we explore the variation in galaxy structure as a function of morphol…

The Origin of Faint Tidal Features Around Galaxies in the RESOLVE Survey

Callie E. Hood, Sheila J. Kannappan, David V. Stark +5

We study tidal features (TFs) around galaxies in the REsolved Spectroscopy of a Local VolumE (RESOLVE) survey. Our sample consists of 1048 RESOLVE galaxies that overlap with the DE…

Sowing black hole seeds: Direct collapse black hole formation with realistic Lyman-Werner radiation in cosmological simulations

Glenna Dunn, Jillian Bellovary, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +2

We study the birth of supermassive black holes from the direct collapse process and characterize the sites where these black hole seeds form. In the pre-reionization epoch, molecul…

Continuum Reverberation Mapping of the Accretion Disks in Two Seyfert 1 Galaxies

M. M. Fausnaugh, D. A. Starkey, Keith Horne +69

We present optical continuum lags for two Seyfert 1 galaxies, MCG+08-11-011 and NGC 2617, using monitoring data from a reverberation mapping campaign carried out in 2014. Our light…

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Spatially Resolving the Main Sequence of Star Formation

Anne M. Medling, Luca Cortese, Scott M. Croom +42

We present the ~800 star formation rate maps for the SAMI Galaxy Survey based on Hα emission maps, corrected for dust attenuation via the Balmer decrement, that are included in the…

H-band discovery of additional Second-Generation stars in the Galactic Bulge Globular Cluster NGC 6522 as observed by APOGEE and Gaia

José G. Fernández-Trincado, O. Zamora, Diogo Souto +34

We present elemental abundance analysis of high-resolution spectra for five giant stars, deriving Fe, Mg, Al, C, N, O, Si and Ce abundances, and spatially located within the innerm…
