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…

Milky Way Mapper decoded abundances -- II: From patterns to paths

Melissa K. Ness, Sarah Aquilina, Jennifer Mead +15

The element abundances of Milky Way disc stars encode entangled imprints of multiple enrichment processes, making it difficult to uncover the underlying chemical evolution. Here we…

Milky Way Mapper decoded abundances -- I. Shared disc enrichment patterns

Melissa K. Ness, Sarah Aquilina, Jennifer Mead +15

Elemental abundances in the Milky Way disc trace its star-formation and enrichment history, but predicting these abundances from theory is limited by uncertain nucleosynthetic yiel…

Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V: Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy

Juna A. Kollmeier, Hans-Walter Rix, Conny Aerts +217

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V (SDSS-V) is pioneering panoptic spectroscopy: it is the first all-sky, multi-epoch, optical-to-infrared spectroscopic survey. SDSS-V is mapping the s…

SDSS-V Milky Way Mapper (MWM): ASPCAP Stellar Parameters and Abundances in SDSS-V Data Release 19

Szabolcs Mészáros, Paula Jofré, Jennifer A. Johnson +25

The goal of this paper is to describe the science verification of Milky Way Mapper (MWM) APOGEE Stellar Parameter and Chemical Abundances Pipeline (ASPCAP) data products published…

In the Galactic disk, stellar [Fe/H] and age predict orbits and precise [X/Fe]

Melissa K. Ness, Kathryn V. Johnston, Kirsten Blancato +4

We explore the structure of the element abundance--age--orbit distribution of the stars in the Milky Way's low- disk, by (re-)deriving precise [Fe/H], [X/Fe] and ages, along wit…

The Correlation Between Mixing Length and Metallicity on the Giant Branch: Implications for Ages in the Gaia Era

Jamie Tayar, Garrett Somers, Marc H. Pinsonneault +28

In the updated APOGEE-Kepler catalog, we have asteroseismic and spectroscopic data for over 3000 first ascent red giants. Given the size and accuracy of this sample, these data off…
