APOGEE: The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
C. Allende Prieto, S. R. Majewski, R. Schiavon +8
APOGEE is a large-scale, NIR, high-resolution (R~20,000) spectroscopic survey of Galactic stars. It is one of the four experiments in SDSS-III. Because APOGEE will observe in the H…
Delving Deeper into the Tumultuous Lives of Galactic Dwarfs: Modeling Star Formation Histories
Chris Orban, Oleg Y. Gnedin, Daniel R. Weisz +3
The paucity of observed dwarf galaxies in the Local Group relative to the abundance of predicted dark matter halos remains one of the greatest puzzles of the LCDM paradigm. Solving…
SDSS Standard Star Catalog for Stripe 82: the Dawn of Industrial 1% Optical Photometry
Zeljko Ivezic, J. Allyn Smith, Gajus Miknaitis +2
We describe a standard star catalog constructed using multiple SDSS photometric observations (at least four per band, with a median of ten) in the system. The catalog inclu…
Time-resolved, multi-color photometry and spectroscopy of Virgo 4 (OU Vir): a high orbital inclination, short orbital period dwarf nova
E. Mason, S. B. Howell, P. Szkody +3
We present multi-color photometry and time resolved spectroscopy of OU Vir. The analysis of the quiescent light curve shows that OU Vir is characterized by i) strong cycle-to-cycle…
