Three dimensional interstellar extinction map towards the Galactic Bulge
B. Q. Chen, M. Schultheis, B. W. Jiang +4
Studies of the properties of the inner Galactic Bulge depend strongly on the assumptions about the interstellar extinction. Most of the extinction maps available in the literature…
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 very low mass multiple system LHS\,1070 -- a testbed for model atmospheres for the lower end of the main sequence
A. S. Rajpurohit, C. Reyle, M. Schultheis +8
LHS1070 is a nearby multiple system of low mass stars. It is an important source of information for probing the low mass end of the main sequence, down to the hydrogen-burning limi…
The Ninth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
III Collaboration, Christopher P. Ahn, Rachael Alexandroff +224
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) presents the first spectroscopic data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This ninth data release (DR9) of the SDSS…
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)…
Lithium destruction and production observed in red giant stars
Stefan Uttenthaler, Thomas Lebzelter, Maurizio Busso +3
According to standard stellar evolution, lithium is destroyed throughout most of the evolution of low- to intermediate-mass stars. However, a number of evolved stars on the red gia…
