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…
Classical Cepheids in the Galactic thin disk I. Abundance gradients via non-local thermodynamic equilibrium spectral analysis
Antonino Nunnari, Valentina D'Orazi, Giuliana Fiorentino +23
Classical Cepheids (CCs) have long been considered excellent tracers of the chemical evolution of the Milky Way's young disk. We present a homogeneous, NLTE spectroscopic analysis…
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…
The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey: VIII. Galactic Chemical Gradient and Azimuthal Analysis from SDSS/MWM DR19
Jonah M. Otto, Peter M Frinchaboy, Natalie R. Myers +16
The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping (OCCAM) survey seeks to curate a large, comprehensive, uniform dataset of open clusters and member stars to constrain key Galactic…
The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
SDSS Collaboration, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Mojgan Aghakhanloo +209
Mapping the local and distant Universe is key to our understanding of it. For decades, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has made a concerted effort to map millions of celestial…
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…
