A Tale of Two Disks: Mapping the Milky Way with the Final Data Release of APOGEE
Julie Imig, Cathryn Price, Jon A. Holtzman +24
We present new maps of the Milky Way disk showing the distribution of metallicity ([Fe/H]), -element abundances ([Mg/Fe]), and stellar age, using a sample of 66,496 red giant st…
The Eighteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Targeting and First Spectra from SDSS-V
Andrés Almeida, Scott F. Anderson, Maria Argudo-Fernández +151
The eighteenth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS) is the first one for SDSS-V, the fifth generation of the survey. SDSS-V comprises three primary scientific progr…
Zeta-Payne: a fully automated spectrum analysis algorithm for the Milky Way Mapper program of the SDSS-V survey
Ilya Straumit, Andrew Tkachenko, Sarah Gebruers +13
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has recently initiated its 5th survey generation (SDSS-V), with a central focus on stellar spectroscopy. In particular, SDSS-V Milky Way Mapper program…
Final Targeting Strategy for the SDSS-IV APOGEE-2N Survey
Rachael L. Beaton, Ryan J. Oelkers, Christian R. Hayes +57
APOGEE-2 is a dual-hemisphere, near-infrared (NIR), spectroscopic survey with the goal of producing a chemo-dynamical mapping of the Milky Way Galaxy. The targeting for APOGEE-2 is…
Chemical evolution of the Galactic bulge as traced by microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars. VIII. Carbon and oxygen
T. Bensby, A. Gould, M. Asplund +6
CONTEXT: [ABRIDGED]. For the Milky Way bulge, there are currently essentially no measurements of carbon in un-evolved stars, hampering our abilities to properly compare Galactic ch…
Nucleosynthesis signatures of neutrino-driven winds from proto-neutron stars: a perspective from chemical evolution models
Fiorenzo Vincenzo, Todd A. Thompson, David H. Weinberg +3
We test the hypothesis that the observed first-peak (Sr, Y, Zr) and second-peak (Ba) s-process elemental abundances in low-metallicity Milky Way stars, and the abundances of the el…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: gravity-wave asteroseismology of intermediate- and high-mass stars
Andrew Tkachenko, Conny Aerts, Dominic M. Bowman +17
The evolution of a star is driven by the physical processes in its interior making the theory of stellar structure and evolution the most crucial ingredient for not only stellar ev…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Understanding the evolution of close white dwarf binaries
Odette Toloza, Elme Breed, Domitilla De Martino +27
Interacting binaries containing white dwarfs can lead to a variety of outcomes that range from powerful thermonuclear explosions, which are important in the chemical evolution of g…
The DESI Experiment Part II: Instrument Design
DESI Collaboration, Amir Aghamousa, Jessica Aguilar +290
DESI (Dark Energy Spectropic Instrument) is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment that will study baryon acoustic oscillations and the growth of structure through redshift…
The SEGUE K Giant Survey. III. Quantifying Galactic Halo Substructure
William Janesh, Heather L. Morrison, Zhibo Ma +9
We statistically quantify the amount of substructure in the Milky Way stellar halo using a sample of 4568 halo K giant stars at Galactocentric distances ranging over 5-125 kpc. The…
The SEGUE K giant survey II: A Catalog of Distance Determinations for the SEGUE K giants in the Galactic Halo
Xiang-Xiang Xue, Zhibo Ma, Hans-Walter Rix +13
We present an online catalog of distance determinations for K giants, most of which are members of the Milky Way's stellar halo. Their medium-resolution spectra from SDS…
The chemical evolution of the Galactic Bulge seen through micro-lensing events
Sofia Feltzing, Thomas Bensby, Jorge Meléndez +6
Galactic bulges are central to understanding galaxy formation and evolution. Here we report on recent studies using micro-lensing events to obtain spectra of high resolution and mo…
Automated Determination of [Fe/H] and [C/Fe] from Low-Resolution Spectroscopy
B. Marsteller, T. C. Beers, T. Sivarani +5
We develop an automated spectral synthesis technique for the estimation of metallicities ([Fe/H]) and carbon abundances ([C/Fe]) for metal-poor stars, including carbon-enhanced met…
SEGUE: A Spectroscopic Survey of 240,000 stars with g=14-20
II SEGUE Collaboration, Brian Yanny, Constance Rockosi +2
The SEGUE survey obtained 240,000 moderate resolution (R = 1800) spectra from 3900 - 9000 Angstroms of fainter Milky Way stars (14.0 < g < 20.3) of a wide variety of spectral types…
The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
K. Abazajian
This paper describes the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), marking the completion of the original goals of the SDSS and the end of the phase known as SDS…
