A Galactic-scale extreme-precision radial velocity survey

Sukanya Chakrabarti, Jack Wagner, Robert J. de Rosa +8

We describe the first Galactic-scale extreme-precision radial velocity (EPRV) survey and outline our goals of measuring Galactic accelerations and deriving constraints on the dark…

GHOST Reduced Data Products for the Gemini Observatory Community and Beyond

Vinicius M. Placco, David Herrera, Brian M. Merino +13

The Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) at Gemini South started regular queue operations in early 2024, bringing a long-sought open-access capability to the astrono…

The Galactic Bulge exploration III.: Calcium Triplet Metallicities for RR Lyrae Stars

Andrea Kunder, Zdenek Prudil, Claire Skaggs +5

RR Lyrae stars are excellent tracers of stellar populations for old, metal-poor components in the Milky Way Galaxy and the Local Group. Their luminosities have a metallicity-depend…

Roman Early-Definition Astrophysics Survey Opportunity: Galactic Roman Infrared Plane Survey (GRIPS)

Roberta Paladini, Catherine Zucker, Robert Benjamin +67

A wide-field near-infrared survey of the Galactic disk and bulge/bar(s) is supported by a large representation of the community of Galactic astronomers. The combination of sensitiv…

The Frequency of Field Blue-Straggler Stars in the Thick Disk and Halo System of the Galaxy

Rafael M. Santucci, Vinicius M. Placco, Silvia Rossi +5

We present an analysis of a new, large sample of field blue-straggler stars (BSSs) in the thick disk and halo system of the Galaxy, based on stellar spectra obtained during the Slo…

Seven New Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor RR Lyrae Stars

Catherine R. Kennedy, Richard J. Stancliffe, Charles Kuehn +6

We report estimated carbon-abundance ratios, [C/Fe], for seven newly-discovered carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) RR Lyrae stars. These are well-studied RRab stars that had previou…
