[C/N] Ages and Extra-Mixing for [Fe/H] <- 0.5: Insights from the LMC and SMC
Yuxi Lu, John D. Roberts, Joshua T. Povick +4
The [C/N]-age relation has become a powerful tool for reconstructing the formation history of the Milky Way (MW), providing the largest age sample for field giant stars. However, a…
Overview of The SDSS-V Magellanic Genesis Survey
David L. Nidever, Danny Horta, Steven R. Majewski +14
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V (SDSS-V) Magellanic Genesis survey is a spectroscopic program designed to map the kinematic and chemical structure of the Magellanic Clouds using APO…
Warped & Hooked: Mapping the Magellanic Clouds in 3D using Red Clump stars
Slater J. Oden, David L. Nidever, Joshua Povick +18
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are the Milky Way's nearest interacting galaxy pair, offering a unique laboratory for studying tidal effects on galactic disks.…
Stellar Birth Radii in the LMC: Insights into Chemodynamics, Radial Migration, and Star Formation Across the Disk
Yuxi Lu, Bethany Garver, David L. Nidever +4
The LMC and SMC are interacting dwarf galaxies that offer a valuable testbed for studying the effects of galactic mergers. We investigate the chemodynamic history of the LMC in the…
The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) XI: Revealing the chemical evolution of the interacting Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
Sara Vitali, Alvaro Rojas-Arriagada, Paula Jofré +9
The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph) is a satellite orbiting the Milky Way that has experienced multiple stripping events due to tidal interactions with our Galaxy. I…
The Lazy Giants: APOGEE Abundances Reveal Low Star Formation Efficiencies in the Magellanic Clouds
David L. Nidever, Sten Hasselquist, Christian R. Hayes +28
We report the first APOGEE metallicities and alpha-element abundances measured for 3600 red giant stars spanning a large radial range of both the Large (LMC) and Small Magellanic C…
