Overview of the SDSS-IV MaNGA Survey: Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory

Kevin Bundy, Matthew A. Bershady, David R. Law +65

We present an overview of a new integral field spectroscopic survey called MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory), one of three core programs in the fourth-gen…

Young alpha-enriched giant stars in the solar neighbourhood

Marie Martig, Hans-Walter Rix, Victor Silva Aguirre +31

We derive age constraints for 1639 red giants in the APOKASC sample for which seismic parameters from Kepler, as well as effective temperatures, metallicities and [alpha/Fe] values…

Tracing chemical evolution over the extent of the Milky Way's Disk with APOGEE Red Clump Stars

David L. Nidever, Jo Bovy, Jonathan C. Bird +40

We employ the first two years of data from the near-infrared, high-resolution SDSS-III/APOGEE spectroscopic survey to investigate the distribution of metallicity and alpha-element…

Redshift evolution of the dynamical properties of massive galaxies from SDSS-III/BOSS

Alessandra Beifiori, Daniel Thomas, Claudia Maraston +26

We study the redshift evolution of the dynamical properties of ~180,000 massive galaxies from SDSS-III/BOSS combined with a local early-type galaxy sample from SDSS-II in the redsh…

The APOGEE red-clump catalog: Precise distances, velocities, and high-resolution elemental abundances over a large area of the Milky Way's disk

Jo Bovy, David L. Nidever, Hans-Walter Rix +48

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III's Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) is a high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopic survey covering all of the major…
