The Milky Way's circular velocity curve between 4 and 14 kpc from APOGEE data
Jo Bovy, Carlos Allende Prieto, Timothy C. Beers +30
We measure the Milky Way's rotation curve over the Galactocentric range 4 kpc <~ R <~ 14 kpc from the first year of data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experi…
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment: First Detection of High Velocity Milky Way Bar Stars
David L. Nidever, Gail Zasowski, Steven R. Majewski +33
Commissioning observations with the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III, have produced radial velocities (RVs)…
LAMOST Experiment for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (LEGUE) The survey science plan
Licai Deng, Heidi Jo Newberg, Chao Liu +22
We describe the current plans for a spectroscopic survey of millions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy using the Guo Shou Jing Telescope (GSJT, formerly the Large Area Multi-Object…
The selection of LEGUE disk targets for LAMOST's pilot survey
Li Chen, Jinliang Hou, Jincheng Yu +18
We describe the target selection algorithm for the low latitude disk portion of the LAMOST Pilot Survey, which aims to test systems in preparation for the LAMOST spectroscopic surv…
A Short Scale Length for the α-Enhanced Thick Disk of the Milky Way: Evidence from Low-Latitude SEGUE Data
Judy Y. Cheng, Constance M. Rockosi, Heather L. Morrison +12
We examine the α-element abundance ratio, [α/Fe], of 5620 stars, observed by the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration survey in the region 6 kpc < R < 16 kpc,…
Update on the Nature of Virgo Overdensity
Ana Bonaca, Mario Juric, Zeljko Ivezic +9
We use the Eighth Data Release of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR8) catalog with its additional sky coverage of the southern Galactic hemisphere, to measure the extent and study…
