Chemical radial gradients for the bulge-bar stellar populations from the APOGEE survey

J. V. Sales-Silva, K. Cunha, V. V. Smith +20

The Milky Way bulge-bar is composed of multiple populations. Using chemical and kinematical planes, we segregate six populations in a bulge-bar sample observed by the APOGEE survey…

Abundances of P, S, and K in 58 bulge spheroid stars from APOGEE

B. Barbuy, H. Ernandes, A. C. S. Friaça +25

We have previously studied several elements in 58 selected bulge spheroid stars, based on spectral lines in the H-band. We now derive the abundances of the less-studied elements ph…

Open cluster members in APOGEE DR17 I. Dynamics and star members

R. Guerço, D. Souto, J. G. Fernández-Trincado +7

Context. Open clusters (OCs) are groups of stars formed from the same cloud of gas and cosmic dust. They play an important role in studies of star formation and evolution and our u…

Chemical tagging with APOGEE, MUSE, and HST: constraints on the formation of Centauri

Andrew C. Mason, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Sebastian Kamann +9

A plethora of evidence suggests that Centauri ( Cen) is the nuclear star cluster of a galaxy that merged with the Milky Way in early times. We use APOGEE, Gaia, MUSE, and HS…

Abundances of iron-peak elements in 58 bulge spheroid stars from APOGEE

B. Barbuy, A. C. S. Friaça, H. Ernandes +22

Stars presently identified in the bulge spheroid are probably very old, and their abundances can be interpreted as due to the fast chemical enrichment of the early Galactic bulge.…

A perspective on the Milky Way Bulge-Bar as seen from the neutron-capture elements Cerium and Neodymium with APOGEE

J. V. Sales-Silva, K. Cunha, V. V. Smith +28

This study probes the chemical abundances of the neutron-capture elements cerium and neodymium in the inner Milky Way from an analysis of a sample of 2000 stars in the Galact…

Chemical abundances of the young inner-disk open cluster NGC 6705 observed by APOGEE: sodium-rich and not -enhanced

V. Loaiza-Tacuri, K. Cunha, D. Souto +19

Previous results in the literature have found the young inner-disk open cluster NGC 6705 to be mildly -enhanced. We examined this possibility via an independent chemical abundan…

Evidence for a metal-poor population in the inner Galactic Bulge

M. Schultheis, K. Cunha, G. Zasowski +14

The inner Galactic Bulge has, until recently, been avoided in chemical evolution studies due to extreme extinction and stellar crowding. Large, near-IR spectroscopic surveys, such…
