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…

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…

Constraining the Milky Way Halo Accretion History With Simulated Stellar Halos: Designing the HALO7D-X Survey

Miranda Apfel, Kevin A. McKinnon, Constance M. Rockosi +2

We present the design for HALO7D-X, a survey of the stellar halo to investigate the accretion history of the Milky Way. The survey will use a combination of Hubble Space Telescope…

BP3M: Bayesian Positions, Parallaxes, and Proper Motions derived from the Hubble Space Telescope and Gaia data

Kevin A. McKinnon, Andrés del Pino, Constance M. Rockosi +9

We present a hierarchical Bayesian pipeline, BP3M, that measures positions, parallaxes, and proper motions (PMs) for cross-matched sources between Hubble~Space~Telescope (HST) imag…

Data-driven Discovery of Diffuse Interstellar Bands with APOGEE Spectra

Kevin A. McKinnon, Melissa K. Ness, Constance M. Rockosi +1

Data-driven models of stellar spectra are useful tools to study non-stellar information, such as the Diffuse Interstellar Bands (DIBs) caused by intervening interstellar material.…

RomAndromeda: The Roman Survey of the Andromeda Halo

Arjun Dey, Joan Najita, Carrie Filion +50

As our nearest large neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy provides a unique laboratory for investigating galaxy formation and the distribution and substructure properties of dark matter…

HALO7D III: Chemical Abundances of Milky Way Halo Stars from Medium Resolution Spectra

Kevin A. McKinnon, Emily C. Cunningham, Constance M. Rockosi +4

The Halo Assembly in Lambda Cold Dark Matter: Observations in 7 Dimensions (HALO7D) survey measures the kinematics and chemical properties of stars in the Milky Way (MW) stellar ha…

Optical Rebrightening of Extragalactic Transients from the Zwicky Transient Facility

Monika Soraisam, Thomas Matheson, Chien-Hsiu Lee +11

Ongoing large-scale optical time-domain surveys, such as the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), are producing alerts at unprecedented rates. Analysis of transient sources has so far…

The homogeneity of the star forming environment of the Milky Way disk over time

Melissa K. Ness, Adam J. Wheeler, Kevin McKinnon +4

Stellar abundances and ages afford the means to link chemical enrichment to galactic formation. In the Milky Way, individual element abundances show tight correlations with age, wh…

Constraining Type Iax Supernova Progenitor Systems with Stellar Population Aging

Tyler Takaro, Ryan J. Foley, Curtis McCully +6

Type Iax supernovae (SNe~Iax) are the most common class of peculiar SNe. While they are thought to be thermonuclear white-dwarf (WD) SNe, SNe~Iax are observationally similar to, bu…
