From the bulge to the outer disc: StarHorse stellar parameters, distances, and extinctions for stars in APOGEE DR16 and other spectroscopic surveys
A. B. A. Queiroz, F. Anders, C. Chiappini +27
We combine high-resolution spectroscopic data from APOGEE-2 Survey Data Release 16 (DR16) with broad-band photometric data from several sources, as well as parallaxes from {\it Gai…
Homogeneous Analysis of Globular Clusters from the APOGEE Survey with the BACCHUS Code. II. The Southern Clusters and Overview
Szabolcs Mészáros, Thomas Masseron, D. A. García-Hernández +33
We investigate the Fe, C, N, O, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, Ce and Nd abundances of 2283 red giant stars in 31 globular clusters from high-resolution spectra observed in both the northern a…
In Pursuit of Galactic Archaeology: Astro2020 Science White Paper
Melissa Ness, Jonathan Bird, Jennifer Johnson +30
The next decade affords tremendous opportunity to achieve the goals of Galactic archaeology. That is, to reconstruct the evolutionary narrative of the Milky Way, based on the empir…
The Origin of Elements Across Cosmic Time: Astro2020 Science White Paper
Jennifer A. Johnson, Gail Zasowski, David Weinberg +14
The problem of the origin of the elements is a fundamental one in astronomy and one that has many open questions. Prominent examples include (1) the nature of Type Ia supernovae an…
Are the double-mode bulge RR Lyrae stars with identical period-ratios the relic of a disrupted stellar system?
Andrea Kunder, Alex Tilton, Dylon Maertens +6
Radial velocities of fifteen double-mode bulge RR Lyrae (RR01) stars are presented, six of which belong to a compact group of RR01 stars in pulsation space, with the ratio of first…
The K2-HERMES Survey: Age and Metallicity of the Thick Disc
Sanjib Sharma, Dennis Stello, Joss Bland-Hawthorn +34
Asteroseismology is a promising tool to study Galactic structure and evolution because it can probe the ages of stars. Earlier attempts comparing seismic data from the {\it Kepler}…
The Relationship Between Globular Cluster Mass, Metallicity, and Light Element Abundance Variations
David M. Nataf, Rosemary Wyse, Ricardo P. Schiavon +7
We investigate aluminum abundance variations in the stellar populations of globular clusters using both literature measurements of sodium and aluminum and APOGEE measurements of ni…
The Detailed Science Case for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer, 2019 edition
The MSE Science Team, Carine Babusiaux, Maria Bergemann +258
(Abridged) The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE) is an end-to-end science platform for the design, execution and scientific exploitation of spectroscopic surveys. It will unvei…
HERBS II: Detailed chemical compositions of Galactic bulge stars
L. Duong, M. Asplund, D. M. Nataf +2
This work explores the detailed chemistry of the Milky Way bulge using the HERMES spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. Here we present the abundance ratios of 13 element…
HERBS I: Metallicity and alpha enhancement along the Galactic bulge minor axis
L. Duong, M. Asplund, D. M. Nataf +3
To better understand the origin and evolution of the Milky Way bulge, we have conducted a survey of bulge red giant branch and clump stars using the HERMES spectrograph on the Angl…
"Auxiliary" Science with the WFIRST Microlensing Survey
B. Scott Gaudi, Rachel Akeson, Jay Anderson +21
The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) will monitor deg toward the Galactic bulge in a wide (m) W149 filter at 15-minute cadence with exposure t…
The Scientific Context of WFIRST Microlensing in the 2020s
Jennifer Yee, Rachel Akeson, Jay Anderson +23
[abridged] WFIRST is uniquely capable of finding planets with masses as small as Mars at separations comparable to Jupiter, i.e., beyond the current ice lines of their stars. These…
Wide-Orbit Exoplanet Demographics
David P. Bennett, Rachel Akeson, Yann Alibert +41
The Kepler, K2 and TESS transit surveys are revolutionizing our understanding of planets orbiting close to their host stars and our understanding of exoplanet systems in general, b…
High-Dimensional Dust Mapping
G. Zasowski, D. P. Finkbeiner, G. M. Green +9
Galactic interstellar dust has a profound impact not only on our observations of objects throughout the Universe, but also on the morphology, star formation, and chemical evolution…
Discovery of a nitrogen-enhanced mildly metal-poor binary system: Possible evidence for pollution from an extinct AGB Star
José G. Fernández-Trincado, Ronald Mennickent, Mauricio Cabezas +13
We report the serendipitous discovery of a nitrogen-rich, mildly metal-poor ([Fe/H]=-1.08) giant star in a single-lined spectroscopic binary system found in the SDSS-IV Apache Poin…
Strong Evidence that the Galactic Bulge is Shining in Gamma Rays
Oscar Macias, Shunsaku Horiuchi, Manoj Kaplinghat +3
There is growing evidence that the Galactic Center Excess identified in the -LAT gamma-ray data arises from a population of faint astrophysical sources. We provide…
