Implications on star-formation-rate indicators from HII regions and diffuse ionised gas in the M101 Group
A. E. Watkins, J. C. Mihos, P. Harding +1
We examine the connection between diffuse ionised gas (DIG), HII regions, and field O and B stars in the nearby spiral M101 and its dwarf companion NGC 5474 using ultra-deep H n…
A Dynamic Galaxy: Stellar Age Patterns Across the Disk of M101
Ray Garner, J. Christopher Mihos, Paul Harding +1
Using deep, narrowband imaging of the nearby spiral galaxy M101, we present stellar age information across the full extent of the disk of M101. Our narrowband filters measure age-s…
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) Spectrographs
J. C. Wilson, F. R. Hearty, M. F. Skrutskie +86
We describe the design and performance of the near-infrared (1.51--1.70 micron), fiber-fed, multi-object (300 fibers), high resolution (R = lambda/delta lambda ~ 22,500) spectrogra…
The MaNGA Integral Field Unit Fiber Feed System for the Sloan 2.5 m Telescope
N. Drory, N. MacDonald, M. A. Bershady +22
We describe the design, manufacture, and performance of bare-fiber integral field units (IFUs) for the SDSS-IV survey MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO) on the the Sloan 2.5 m…
The Burrell-Optical-Kepler-Survey (BOKS) I: Survey Description and Initial Results
John J. Feldmeier, Steve B. Howell, William Sherry +9
We present the initial results of a 40 night contiguous ground-based campaign of time series photometric observations of a 1.39 sq. deg field located within the NASA Kepler mission…
The Eighth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Data from SDSS-III
III collaboration, Hiroaki Aihara, Carlos Allende Prieto +178
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) started a new phase in August 2008, with new instrumentation and new surveys focused on Galactic structure and chemical evolution, measurements…
