Star spots mimic the proposed abundance signatures of planet formation

Andrew R. Casey, Megan Bedell, Adam Wheeler +2

Trends with stellar elemental abundances and condensation temperature have been proposed as a possible tracer of rocky planet formation. Here we present an alternative explanation,…

A constrained linear model for continuum normalization of stellar spectra

Andrew R. Casey, Adam Wheeler, Megan Bedell +3

Inferring stellar parameters and chemical abundances by forward modeling stellar spectra usually requires a spectral synthesis code, or an emulator constructed from a curated train…

The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

SDSS Collaboration, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Mojgan Aghakhanloo +210

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…

Improving Radial Velocities by Marginalizing over Stars and Sky: Achieving 30 m/s RV Precision for APOGEE in the Plate Era

Andrew K. Saydjari, Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Adam J. Wheeler +7

The radial velocity catalog from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) is unique in its simultaneously large volume and high precision as a result of…

The impact of incorrect dissociation energies on inferred photospheric abundances

Sarah E Aquilina, Andrew R Casey, Adam J Wheeler

Spectral synthesis codes are essential for inferring stellar parameters and detailed chemical abundances. These codes require many physical inputs to predict an emergent spectrum.…

Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Two-process Parameters and Residual Abundances for 288,789 Stars from Data Release 17

Tawny Sit, David H. Weinberg, Adam Wheeler +4

Stellar abundance measurements are subject to systematic errors that induce extra scatter and artificial correlations in elemental abundance patterns. We derive empirical calibrati…

Korg: fitting, model atmosphere interpolation, and Brackett lines

Adam J Wheeler, Andrew R Casey, Matthew W Abruzzo

We describe several updates to Korg, a package for 1D LTE spectral synthesis of FGKM stars. Built-in functions to fit observed spectra via synthesis or equivalent widths make it ea…
