Tidal Debris Candidates from the Centauri Accretion Event and its Role in Building Up the Milky Way Halo

Borja Anguiano, Arik Mitschang, Takanobu Kirihara +11

We identify stellar tidal debris from the Centauri ( Cen) system among field stars in the APOGEE survey via chemical tagging using a neural network trained on APOGEE observa…

Chemical tagging with APOGEE, MUSE, and HST: constraints on the formation of Centauri

Andrew C. Mason, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Sebastian Kamann +9

A plethora of evidence suggests that Centauri ( Cen) is the nuclear star cluster of a galaxy that merged with the Milky Way in early times. We use APOGEE, Gaia, MUSE, and HS…

Magnetic Fields of M Dwarfs from the Pleiades Open Cluster

Fabio Wanderley, Katia Cunha, Oleg Kochukhov +10

Average magnetic field measurements are presented for 62 M-dwarf members of the Pleiades open cluster, derived from Zeeman-enhanced Fe I lines in the H-band. An MCMC methodology wa…

Stellar Characterization and Radius Inflation of Hyades M Dwarf Stars From the APOGEE Survey

Fábio Wanderley, Katia Cunha, Diogo Souto +23

We present a spectroscopic analysis of a sample of 48 M dwarf stars () from the Hyades open cluster using high-resolution H-band spectra from the…

sMILES: A Library of Semi-Empirical MILES Stellar Spectra with Variable [/Fe] Abundances

Adam T. Knowles, Anne E. Sansom, Carlos Allende Prieto +1

We present a new library of semi-empirical stellar spectra that is based on the empirical MILES library. A new, high resolution library of theoretical stellar spectra is generated…

The contribution of N-rich stars to the Galactic stellar halo using APOGEE red giants

Danny Horta, J. Ted Mackereth, Ricardo P. Schiavon +13

The contribution of dissolved globular clusters (GCs) to the stellar content of the Galactic halo is a key constraint on models for GC formation and destruction, and the mass assem…

IMF and [Na/Fe] abundance ratios from optical and NIR Spectral Features in Early-type Galaxies

F. La Barbera, A. Vazdekis, I. Ferreras +5

We present a joint analysis of the four most prominent sodium-sensitive features (NaD, NaI8190, NaI1.14, and NaI2.21), in the optical and Near-Infrared spectral range, of two nearb…

Redshift Measurement and Spectral Classification for eBOSS Galaxies with the Redmonster Software

Timothy A. Hutchinson, Adam S. Bolton, Kyle S. Dawson +13

We describe the redmonster automated redshift measurement and spectral classification software designed for the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) of the Sloa…

The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE)

Steven R. Majewski, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Peter M. Frinchaboy +75

The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), one of the programs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III), has now completed its systematic, homogeneo…

Lithium abundances in nearby FGK dwarf and subgiant stars: internal destruction, Galactic chemical evolution, and exoplanets

I. Ramirez, J. R. Fish, D. L. Lambert +1

We derive atmospheric parameters and lithium abundances for 671 stars and include our measurements in a literature compilation of 1381 dwarf and subgiant stars. First, a "lithium d…
