The Bulge Metallicity Distribution from the APOGEE Survey
Ana E. Garcia Perez, Melissa Ness, Annie C. Robin +14
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) provides spectroscopic information of regions of the inner Milky Way inaccessible to optical surveys. We present…
Temporal Variations of Telluric Water Vapor Absorption at Apache Point Observatory
Dan Li, Cullen H. Blake, David Nidever +1
Time-variable absorption by water vapor in Earth's atmosphere presents an important source of systematic error for a wide range of ground-based astronomical measurements, particula…
SMHASH: Anatomy of the Orphan Stream using RR Lyrae stars
David Hendel, Victoria Scowcroft, Kathryn V. Johnston +30
Stellar tidal streams provide an opportunity to study the motion and structure of the disrupting galaxy as well as the gravitational potential of its host. Streams around the Milky…
Revealing the Ionization Properties of the Magellanic Stream using Optical Emission
K. A. Barger, G. J. Madsen, A. J. Fox +10
The Magellanic Stream, a gaseous tail that trails behind the Magellanic Clouds, could replenish the Milky Way with a tremendous amount of gas if it reaches the Galactic disk before…
Stellar Multiplicity Meets Stellar Evolution And Metallicity: The APOGEE View
Carles Badenes, Christine Mazzola, Todd A. Thompson +21
We use the multi-epoch radial velocities acquired by the APOGEE survey to perform a large scale statistical study of stellar multiplicity for field stars in the Milky Way, spanning…
Chemical abundances and ages of the bulge stars in APOGEE high-velocity peaks
Yingying Zhou, Juntai Shen, Chao Liu +17
A cold high-velocity (HV, 200 km/s) peak was first reported in several Galactic bulge fields based on the APOGEE commissioning observations. Both the existence and the natur…
Target Selection for the SDSS-IV APOGEE-2 Survey
G. Zasowski, R. E. Cohen, S. D. Chojnowski +34
APOGEE-2 is a high-resolution, near-infrared spectroscopic survey observing roughly 300,000 stars across the entire sky. It is the successor to APOGEE and is part of the Sloan Digi…
Science-Driven Optimization of the LSST Observing Strategy
LSST Science Collaboration, Phil Marshall, Timo Anguita +102
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope is designed to provide an unprecedented optical imaging dataset that will support investigations of our Solar System, Galaxy and Universe, acros…
APOGEE Chemical Abundances of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy
Sten Hasselquist, Matthew Shetrone, Verne Smith +23
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) provides the opportunity to measure elemental abundances for C, N, O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, K, Ca, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, C…
The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
Bela Abolfathi, D. S. Aguado, Gabriela Aguilar +344
The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) has been in operation since July 2014. This paper describes the second data release from this phase, and the fourtee…
IN-SYNC VI. Identification and Radial Velocity Extraction for 100+ Double-Lined Spectroscopic Binaries in the APOGEE/IN-SYNC Fields
M. A. Fernandez, Kevin R. Covey, Nathan De Lee +15
We present radial velocity measurements for 70 high confidence, and 34 potential binary systems in fields containing the Perseus Molecular Cloud, Pleiades, NGC 2264, and the Orion…
The age-metallicity structure of the Milky Way disk
J. Ted Mackereth, Jo Bovy, Ricardo P. Schiavon +11
The measurement of the structure of stellar populations in the Milky Way disk places fundamental constraints on models of galaxy formation and evolution. Previously, the disk's str…
IN-SYNC. V. Stellar kinematics and dynamics in the Orion A Molecular Cloud
Nicola Da Rio, Jonathan C. Tan, Kevin R. Covey +14
The kinematics and dynamics of young stellar populations enable us to test theories of star formation. With this aim, we continue our analysis of the SDSS-III/APOGEE IN-SYNC survey…
SMASH - Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History
David L. Nidever, Knut Olsen, Alistair R. Walker +36
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are unique local laboratories for studying the formation and evolution of small galaxies in exquisite detail. The Survey of the…
