The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper

SDSS Collaboration, Mojgan Aghakhanloo, David Aguilar +273

This paper presents the twentieth data release (DR20) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the third data release of its fifth generation (SDSS-V). SDSS-V is a panoptic spectroscopy…

Milky Way Mapper decoded abundances -- II: From patterns to paths

Melissa K. Ness, Sarah Aquilina, Jennifer Mead +15

The element abundances of Milky Way disc stars encode entangled imprints of multiple enrichment processes, making it difficult to uncover the underlying chemical evolution. Here we…

Milky Way Mapper decoded abundances -- I. Shared disc enrichment patterns

Melissa K. Ness, Sarah Aquilina, Jennifer Mead +15

Elemental abundances in the Milky Way disc trace its star-formation and enrichment history, but predicting these abundances from theory is limited by uncertain nucleosynthetic yiel…

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…

On the Origin of Abundance Variations in the Milky Way's High- Plateau

Tawny Sit, David H. Weinberg, Emily J. Griffith

Using multi-element abundances from the SDSS APOGEE survey, we investigate the origin of abundance variations in Milky Way (MW) disk stars on the "high- plateau," with $-0.5\leq…

Many elements matter: Detailed abundance patterns reveal star-formation and enrichment differences among Milky Way structural components

Emily J. Griffith, David W. Hogg, Sten Hasselquist +5

Many nucleosynthetic channels create the elements, but two-parameter models characterized by and Fe nonetheless predict stellar abundances in the Galactic disk to accuracies of…

The Milky Way Radial Metallicity Gradient as an Equilibrium Phenomenon: Why Old Stars are Metal-Rich

James W. Johnson, David H. Weinberg, Guillermo A. Blanc +12

Metallicities of both gas and stars decline toward large radii in spiral galaxies, a trend known as the radial metallicity gradient. We quantify the evolution of the metallicity gr…

2-process Model and Residual Abundance Analysis of the Milky Way Massive Satellites

Sten Hasselquist, Christian R. Hayes, Emily J. Griffith +4

The ``2-process Model'' is a promising technique for interpreting stellar chemical abundance data from large-scale surveys (e.g., SDSS-IV/V, GALAH), enabling more quantitative empi…

Measuring Dwarf Galaxy Intrinsic Abundance Scatter with Mid-resolution Spectroscopic Surveys: Calibrating APOGEE Abundance Errors

Jennifer Mead, Melissa Ness, Eric Andersson +2

The first generations of stars left their chemical fingerprints on metal-poor stars in the Milky Way and its surrounding dwarf galaxies. While instantaneous and homogeneous enrichm…
