The MDW Hα Sky Survey: Data Release 1
Noor Aftab, Xunhe, Zhang +7
The Mittelman-di Cicco-Walker (MDW) H Sky Survey is an autonomously-operated all-sky narrow-band (3nm) H imaging survey. The survey was founded by amateur astronomers and the…
Unified Spectrospatial Forward Models: Spatially Continuous Maps of Weak Emission Lines in the Rosette Nebula with SDSS-V LVM
Thomas Hilder, Andrew R. Casey, Julianne J. Dalcanton +14
Analyses of IFU data are typically performed on a per-spaxel basis, with each spectrum modelled independently. For low signal-to-noise (S/N) features such as weak emission lines, e…
The Importance of Standardizing Spectra in the Era of Large Spectroscopic Surveys: A Case Study of M Dwarfs in SDSS-V
Ilija Medan, Zachary Way, Bárbara Rojas-Ayala +8
SDSS-V will obtain 100,000s of medium-resolution, optical spectra of M dwarfs with the BOSS instrument. M dwarfs have complex atmospheres, and their spectra contain many wide and d…
The large-scale kinematics of young stars in the Milky Way disc: first results from SDSS-V
Eleonora Zari, Jaime Villaseñor, Marina Kounkel +17
We present a first large-scale kinematic map of 50,000 young OB stars ( K), based on BOSS spectroscopy from the Milky Way Mapper OB program in the on…
An SDSS-V 3D Tomographic Na I Map of the ISM: An Initial Study Towards the Smith Cloud
Timothy McQuaid, Joseph N. Burchett, Kate H. R. Rubin +7
High velocity clouds supply the Milky Way with gas that sustains star formation over cosmic timescales. Precise distance measurements are therefore essential to quantify their mass…
Mapping the Distant and Metal-Poor Milky Way with SDSS-V
Vedant Chandra, Phillip A. Cargile, Alexander P. Ji +28
The fifth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V) is conducting the first all-sky low-resolution spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way's stellar halo. We describe the stellar…
The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey: VIII. Galactic Chemical Gradient and Azimuthal Analysis from SDSS/MWM DR19
Jonah M. Otto, Peter M Frinchaboy, Natalie R. Myers +16
The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping (OCCAM) survey seeks to curate a large, comprehensive, uniform dataset of open clusters and member stars to constrain key Galactic…
Correlations between Dust Extinction Features across All Wavelength Scales: From Diffuse Interstellar Bands to R(V)
Andrew K. Saydjari, Gregory M. Green
Understanding variations in the dust extinction curve is imperative for using dust as a tracer of local structure in the interstellar medium, understanding dust chemistry, and obse…
The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
SDSS Collaboration, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Mojgan Aghakhanloo +210
Mapping the local and distant Universe is key to our understanding of it. For decades, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has made a concerted effort to map millions of celestial…
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…
Bayesian Component Separation for DESI LAE Automated Spectroscopic Redshifts and Photometric Targeting
Ana Sofía M. Uzsoy, Andrew K. Saydjari, Arjun Dey +37
Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs) are valuable high-redshift cosmological probes traditionally identified using specialized narrow-band photometric surveys. In ground-based spectroscopy,…
Deriving Stellar Properties, Distances, and Reddenings using Photometry and Astrometry with BRUTUS
Joshua S. Speagle, Catherine Zucker, Angus Beane +18
We present brutus, an open source Python package for quickly deriving stellar properties, distances, and reddenings to stars based on grids of stellar models constrained by photome…
Mapping the Milky Way in 5-D with 170 Million Stars
Joshua S. Speagle, Catherine Zucker, Ana Bonaca +18
We present "augustus", a catalog of distance, extinction, and stellar parameter estimates to 170 million stars from and with dr…
StarFlow: Leveraging Normalizing Flows for Stellar Age Estimation in SDSS-V DR19
Alexander Stone-Martinez, Jon A. Holtzman, Yuxi +6
Understanding the ages of stars is crucial for unraveling the formation history and evolution of our Galaxy. Traditional methods for estimating stellar ages from spectroscopic data…
