Young alpha-enriched giant stars in the solar neighbourhood

Marie Martig, Hans-Walter Rix, Victor Silva Aguirre +31

We derive age constraints for 1639 red giants in the APOKASC sample for which seismic parameters from Kepler, as well as effective temperatures, metallicities and [alpha/Fe] values…

IN-SYNC II: Virial Stars from Sub-Virial Cores -- The Velocity Dispersion of Embedded Pre-Main-Sequence Stars in NGC 1333

Jonathan B. Foster, Michiel Cottaar, Kevin R. Covey +14

The initial velocity dispersion of newborn stars is a major unconstrained aspect of star formation theory. Using near-infrared spectra obtained with the APOGEE spectrograph, we sho…

Sodium and Oxygen Abundances in the Open Cluster NGC 6791 from APOGEE H-Band Spectroscopy

Katia Cunha, Verne V. Smith, Jennifer A. Johnson +27

The open cluster NGC 6791 is among the oldest, most massive and metal-rich open clusters in the Galaxy. High-resolution -band spectra from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic…

The APOKASC Catalog: An Asteroseismic and Spectroscopic Joint Survey of Targets in the Kepler Fields

Marc H. Pinsonneault, Yvonne Elsworth, Courtney Epstein +42

We present the first APOKASC catalog of spectroscopic and asteroseismic properties of 1916 red giants observed in the Kepler fields. The spectroscopic parameters provided from the…

Bayesian distances and extinctions for giants observed by Kepler and APOGEE

Thaíse S. Rodrigues, Léo Girardi, Andrea Miglio +30

We present a first determination of distances and extinctions for individual stars in the first release of the APOKASC catalogue, built from the joint efforts of the Apache Point O…

The power spectrum of the Milky Way: Velocity fluctuations in the Galactic disk

Jo Bovy, Jonathan C. Bird, Ana E. García Pérez +3

We investigate the kinematics of stars in the mid-plane of the Milky Way on scales between 25 pc and 10 kpc with data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experimen…
