IN-SYNC III: The dynamical state of IC 348 - A super-virial velocity dispersion and a puzzling sign of convergence

Michiel Cottaar, Kevin R. Covey, Jonathan B. Foster +11

Most field stars will have encountered the highest stellar density and hence the largest number of interactions in their birth environment. Yet the stellar dynamics during this cru…

Rapid Rotation of Low-Mass Red Giants Using APOKASC: A Measure of Interaction Rates on the Post-main-sequence

Jamie Tayar, Tugdual Ceillier, D. A. García-Hernández +16

We investigate the occurrence rate of rapidly rotating (10 km s), low-mass giant stars in the APOGEE-Kepler (APOKASC) fields with asteroseismic mass and surface…

Hydra II: a faint and compact Milky Way dwarf galaxy found in the Survey of the Magellanic Stellar History

Nicolas F. Martin, David L. Nidever, Gurtina Besla +26

We present the discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, Hydra II, found serendipitously within the data from the ongoing Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History (SMASH) conducted with the…

Young [/Fe]-enhanced stars discovered by CoRoT and APOGEE: What is their origin?

C. Chiappini, F. Anders, T. S. Rodrigues +34

We report the discovery of a group of apparently young CoRoT red-giant stars exhibiting enhanced [alpha/Fe] abundance ratios (as determined from APOGEE spectra) with respect to Sol…

The APOGEE Spectroscopic Survey of Kepler Planet Hosts: Feasibility, Efficiency, and First Results

Scott W. Fleming, Suvrath Mahadevan, Rohit Deshpande +33

The Kepler mission has yielded a large number of planet candidates from among the Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs), but spectroscopic follow-up of these relatively faint stars is…
