The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper
SDSS Collaboration, Mojgan Aghakhanloo, David Aguilar +273
This paper presents the twentieth data release (DR20) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the third data release of its fifth generation (SDSS-V). SDSS-V is a panoptic spectroscopy…
A Probabilistic Framework for Population Studies of the Solar Neighborhood: Application to SDSS-V and Gaia
Ilija Medan, Keivan G. Stassun, Zachary Way +8
Studies of the Solar Neighborhood require spectroscopic follow-up of stars identified in astrometric surveys to fully characterize their physical properties. The SDSS-V Solar Neigh…
The Milky Way's Missing In-Situ Halo
Madeline Lucey, Robyn E. Sanderson, Alexander H. Riley +3
The Milky Way's stellar halo preserves a record of its mass assembly history, encoding accretion events in its structural properties. Among the most prominent of these features is…
The Dynamics of Old Inner Galaxy Stars in Milky Way-mass Galaxies Using FIRE-2 Simulations
Emma Tasso, Madeline Lucey, Robyn Sanderson +2
Understanding how galaxies like the Milky Way assembled over cosmic time remains a central question in astrophysics. Understanding the processes that shaped their formation and evo…
Self-consistent dynamical modelling of the Milky Way bar with orbital frequency analysis
Zachary Langford, Robyn Sanderson, Madeline Lucey +1
We present an update to the frequency analysis method for measuring the properties of a galactic bar. The method involves computing the fundamental frequencies of orbits in rotatin…
Discovery of the First Five Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars in the LMC
Madeline Lucey, Vedant Chandra, Alexander Ji +7
A substantial fraction of metal-poor stars in the local Milky Way halo exhibit large overabundances of carbon. These stars, dubbed Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) stars, provide…
Inferring Stellar Densities with Flexible Models I: The Distribution of RR Lyrae in the Milky Way with DR3
Madeline Lucey, Cecilia Mateu, Adrian Price-Whelan +3
Understanding the formation and evolutionary history of the Milky Way requires detailed mapping of its stellar components, which preserve fossil records of the Galaxy's assembly th…
Mapping the Distant and Metal-Poor Milky Way with SDSS-V
Vedant Chandra, Phillip A. Cargile, Alexander P. Ji +28
The fifth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V) is conducting the first all-sky low-resolution spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way's stellar halo. We describe the stellar…
The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
SDSS Collaboration, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Mojgan Aghakhanloo +210
Mapping the local and distant Universe is key to our understanding of it. For decades, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has made a concerted effort to map millions of celestial…
Counterculture Stars: Slow and Retrograde Stars with Low-Alpha Disk Abundances
Carrie Filion, Michael S. Petersen, Danny Horta +3
The Milky Way is home to a thin disk that can be defined via kinematics and/or elemental abundances. The elemental abundance-defined thin disk, also called the low-alpha disk, is g…
Cosmological predictions for minor axis stellar density profiles in the inner regions of Milky Way-mass galaxies
Madeline Lucey, Robyn Sanderson, Danny Horta +5
CDM cosmology predicts the hierarchical formation of galaxies which build up mass by merger events and accreting smaller systems. The stellar halo of the Milky Way has proven to…
The Galactic Center with Roman
Sean K. Terry, Matthew W. Hosek, Jessica R. Lu +31
We advocate for a Galactic center (GC) field to be added to the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS). The new field would yield high-cadence photometric and astrometric measur…
Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor star candidates from BP/RP Spectra in DR3
Madeline Lucey, Nariman Al Kharusi, Keith Hawkins +6
Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars comprise almost a third of stars with [Fe/H] < --2, although their origins are still poorly understood. It is highly likely that one sub-cla…
Dynamically constraining the length of the Milky Way bar
Madeline Lucey, Sarah Pearson, Jason A. S. Hunt +5
We present a novel method for constraining the length of the Galactic bar using 6D phase space information to directly integrate orbits. We define a pseudo-length for the Galactic…
The detailed chemical abundance patterns of accreted halo stars from the optical to infrared
Andreia Carrillo, Keith Hawkins, Paula Jofré +3
Understanding the assembly of our Galaxy requires us to also characterize the systems that helped build it. In this work, we accomplish this by exploring the chemistry of accreted…
The COMBS Survey -- III. The Chemodynamical Origins of Metal-Poor Bulge Stars
Madeline Lucey, Keith Hawkins, Melissa Ness +6
The characteristics of the stellar populations in the Galactic Bulge inform and constrain the Milky Way's formation and evolution. The metal-poor population is particularly importa…
The COMBS Survey -- II. Distinguishing the Metal-Poor Bulge from the Halo Interlopers
Madeline Lucey, Keith Hawkins, Melissa Ness +9
The metal-poor stars in the bulge are important relics of the Milky Way's formation history, as simulations predict that they are some of the oldest stars in the Galaxy. In order t…
The Chemical Nature of the Young 120-Myr-old Nearby Pisces-Eridanus Stellar Stream Flowing through the Galactic Disk
Keith Hawkins, Madeline Lucey, Jason Curtis
Recently, a new cylindrical-shaped stream of stars up to 700 pc long was discovered hiding in the Galactic disk using kinematic data enabled by the Gaia mission. This stream of sta…
From the Inner to Outer Milky Way: A Photometric Sample of 2.6 Million Red Clump Stars
Madeline Lucey, Yuan-Sen Ting, Nesar S. Ramachandra +1
Large pristine samples of red clump stars are highly sought after given that they are standard candles and give precise distances even at large distances. However, it is difficult…
Identical or fraternal twins? : The chemical homogeneity of wide binaries from Gaia DR2
Keith Hawkins, Madeline Lucey, Yuan-Sen Ting +7
One of the high-level goals of Galactic archaeology is chemical tagging of stars across the Milky Way to piece together its assembly history. For this to work, stars born together…
The Kepler Smear Campaign: Light curves for 102 Very Bright Stars
Benjamin J. S. Pope, Guy R. Davies, Keith Hawkins +19
We present the first data release of the Kepler Smear Campaign, using collateral 'smear' data obtained in the Kepler four-year mission to reconstruct light curves of 102 stars too…
The COMBS survey I: Chemical Origins of Metal-Poor Stars in the Galactic Bulge
Madeline Lucey, Keith Hawkins, Melissa Ness +7
Chemistry and kinematic studies can determine the origins of stellar population across the Milky Way. The metallicity distribution function of the bulge indicates that it comprises…
