The Seventeenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Complete Release of MaNGA, MaStar and APOGEE-2 Data
Abdurro'uf, Katherine Accetta, Conny Aerts +337
This paper documents the seventeenth data release (DR17) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys; the fifth and final release from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). DR17 contains the complete…
The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
Bela Abolfathi, D. S. Aguado, Gabriela Aguilar +344
The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) has been in operation since July 2014. This paper describes the second data release from this phase, and the fourtee…
IN-SYNC. V. Stellar kinematics and dynamics in the Orion A Molecular Cloud
Nicola Da Rio, Jonathan C. Tan, Kevin R. Covey +14
The kinematics and dynamics of young stellar populations enable us to test theories of star formation. With this aim, we continue our analysis of the SDSS-III/APOGEE IN-SYNC survey…
IN-SYNC IV - The Young Stellar Population in the Orion A Molecular Cloud
Nicola Da Rio, Jonathan C. Tan, Kevin R. Covey +14
We present the results of the SDSS APOGEE INfrared Spectroscopy of Young Nebulous Clusters program (IN-SYNC) survey of the Orion A molecular cloud. This survey obtained high resolu…
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…
IN-SYNC II: Virial Stars from Sub-Virial Cores -- The Velocity Dispersion of Embedded Pre-Main-Sequence Stars in NGC 1333
Jonathan B. Foster, Michiel Cottaar, Kevin R. Covey +14
The initial velocity dispersion of newborn stars is a major unconstrained aspect of star formation theory. Using near-infrared spectra obtained with the APOGEE spectrograph, we sho…
The Most Luminous Galaxies Discovered by WISE
Chao-Wei Tsai, Peter Eisenhardt, Jingwen Wu +25
We present 20 WISE-selected galaxies with bolometric luminosities L_bol > 10^14 L_sun, including five with infrared luminosities L_IR = L(rest 8-1000 micron) > 10^14 L_sun. These "…
Tracing chemical evolution over the extent of the Milky Way's Disk with APOGEE Red Clump Stars
David L. Nidever, Jo Bovy, Jonathan C. Bird +40
We employ the first two years of data from the near-infrared, high-resolution SDSS-III/APOGEE spectroscopic survey to investigate the distribution of metallicity and alpha-element…
The APOGEE red-clump catalog: Precise distances, velocities, and high-resolution elemental abundances over a large area of the Milky Way's disk
Jo Bovy, David L. Nidever, Hans-Walter Rix +48
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III's Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) is a high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopic survey covering all of the major…
Discovery of a Dynamical Cold Point in the Heart of the Sagittarius dSph Galaxy with Observations from the APOGEE Project
Steven R. Majewski, Sten Hasselquist, Ewa L. Łokas +30
The dynamics of the core of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy are explored using high-resolution (R~22,500), H-band, near-infrared spectra of over 1,000 giant st…
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 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)…
The First Ultra-Cool Brown Dwarf Discovered by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer
A. Mainzer, Michael C. Cushing, M. Skrutskie +17
We report the discovery of the first new ultra-cool brown dwarf found with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The object's preliminary designation is WISEPC J045853.90…
Lifting the Dusty Veil II: A Large-Scale Study of the Galactic Infrared Extinction Law
G. Zasowski, S. R. Majewski, R. Indebetouw +8
We combine near-infrared (2MASS) and mid-infrared (Spitzer-IRAC) photometry to characterize the IR extinction law (1.2-8 microns) over nearly 150 degrees of contiguous Milky Way mi…
