The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey: IX. Measuring the Effects of Stellar Diffusion in the Open Clusters NGC 752 and Ruprecht 147 using APOGEE

Diogo Souto, Taylor Spoo, Peter M. Frinchaboy +4

A growing understanding of stellar processes that alter surface chemical abundances over time has opened new avenues for using these changes as probes of stellar properties. On the…

OCCAM X. Neutron Capture Abundances with Keck/HIRES & Magellan/MIKE

Natalie R. Myers, Peter M. Frinchaboy, Henrique Reggiani +10

The chemistry of stars provides powerful insight into the history of the Milky Way. With multiple large-sky spectroscopic surveys that are currently available, using chemistry as a…

Understanding the Origin and Dynamical Evolution of the Unique Open Star Cluster Berkeley 20 using FIRE Simulations

Alessa I. Wiggins, Jamie R. Quinn, Micah Oeur +11

Open clusters (OCs) act as key probes that can be leveraged to constrain the formation and evolution of the Milky Way (MW)'s disk, as each has a unique chemical fingerprint and wel…

Extending the [C/N]-Age Calibration: Using Globular Clusters to Explore Older and Metal-Poor Populations

Taylor Spoo, Katelyn Thomas, Ellie "Kaleo" Toguchi-Tani +8

In the coming years, detailed chemical abundances from large-scale high-resolution spectroscopic surveys will become available for vast numbers of stars across the Milky Way. Previ…

Only the Special Survive: Evolution of Long-Lived Star Clusters in Galaxy Simulations

Alessa I. Wiggins, Sarah Loebman, Peter Frinchaboy

In this work, we aim to answer one crucial question behind the discrepancy between chemical trends of field stars and clusters in the Galactic disk: is the chemical gradient mismat…

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…

Strong Chemical Tagging in FIRE: Intra and Inter-Cluster Chemical Homogeneity in Open Clusters in Milky Way-like Galaxy Simulations

Binod Bhattarai, Sarah R. Loebman, Melissa K. Ness +4

Open star clusters are the essential building blocks of the Galactic disk; "strong chemical tagging" - the premise that all star clusters can be reconstructed given chemistry infor…

Kindling the First Stars II: Dependence of the Predicted PISN Rate on the Pop III Initial Mass Function

Alessa Ibrahim Wiggins, Mia Sauda Bovill, Louis-Gregory Strolger +2

Population III (Pop III) stars formed out of metal free gas in minihalos at . While their ignition ended the Dark Ages and begin enrichment of the IGM, their mass distributio…

Kindling the First Stars: I. Dependence of Detectability of the First Stars with JWST on the Pop III Stellar Masses

Mia Sauda Bovill, Massimo Stiavelli, Alessa Ibrahim Wiggins +2

The first Pop III stars formed out of primordial, metal free gas, in minihalos at z>20, and kickstarted the cosmic processes of reionizaton and enrichment. While these stars are li…
