An upper limit on Galactic OB+black hole binaries from SDSS-V
J. Müller-Horn, H. -W. Rix, S. Shahaf +14
Binaries composed of a luminous OB star and a black hole (BH) are a key evolutionary link between massive stellar binaries and merging compact-object binaries, but only a handful a…
ABYSS. IV. Identifying signatures of stellar youth in APOGEE spectra
Valentina Bonilla Villalobos, Marina Kounkel, Joseph Mullen +9
We develop a convolutional neural network classifier that performs spectroscopic identification of stellar youth (<40 Myr) in APOGEE spectra. This classifier is sensitive to severa…
A Galactic intermediate-mass stripped star with a Wolf-Rayet-like wind
Johanna Müller-Horn, Kareem El-Badry, Andreas A. C. Sander +17
Binary interaction in massive stars is expected to produce a large population of intermediate-mass (- M) envelope-stripped stars, yet such objects have remained elusi…
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…
The DESIRED temperature-metallicity relations in star-forming regions: probing the Galactic radial and azimuthal metallicity distributions
I. Rafael Martínez-Hernández, J. Eduardo Méndez-Delgado, César Esteban +17
We analyse a sample of 225 star-forming regions from the DESIRED-E project, each with simultaneous determinations of the electron temperature from ionized nitrogen and oxygen, $T_{…
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…
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…
Procedures for Constraining Robotic Fiber Positioning for Highly Multiplexed Spectroscopic Surveys: The Case of FPS for SDSS-V
Ilija Medan, Tom Dwelly, Kevin R. Covey +12
One crucial aspect of planning any large scale astronomical survey is constructing an observing strategy that maximizes reduced data quality. This is especially important for surve…
robostrategy: Field and Target Assignment Optimization in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V
Michael R. Blanton, Joleen K. Carlberg, Tom Dwelly +12
We present an algorithmic method for efficiently planning a long-term, large-scale multi-object spectroscopy program. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) Focal Plane System per…
The Age-Dependent Vertical Actions of Young Stars in the Galaxy
D. N. Garzon, Neige Frankel, Eleonora Zari +2
Stars in the Galactic disk are born on cold, nearly circular orbits with small vertical excursions. After their birth, their orbits evolve, driven by small- or large-scale perturba…
SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM): A Glimpse into Orion
K. Kreckel, O. V. Egorov, E. Egorova +37
The Orion Molecular Cloud complex, one of the nearest (D = 406 pc) and most extensively studied massive star-forming regions, is ideal for constraining the physics of stellar feedb…
A red giant orbiting a black hole
Kareem El-Badry, Hans-Walter Rix, Yvette Cendes +18
We report spectroscopic and photometric follow-up of a dormant black hole (BH) candidate from Gaia DR3. The system, which we call Gaia BH2, contains a red giant a…
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…
OB Associations
Nicholas J. Wright, Simon Goodwin, Robin D. Jeffries +2
OB associations are low-density groups of young stars that are dispersing from their birth environment into the Galactic field. They are important for understanding the star format…
Stellar labels for hot stars from low-resolution spectra - I. the HotPayne method and results for 330,000 stars from LAMOST DR6
Maosheng Xiang, Hans-Walter Rix, Yuan-Sen Ting +9
We set out to determine stellar labels from low-resolution survey spectra of hot, OBA stars with effective temperature (Teff) higher than 7500K. This fills a gap in the scientific…
