SDSS-V: Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy
Juna A. Kollmeier, Gail Zasowski, Hans-Walter Rix +47
SDSS-V will be an all-sky, multi-epoch spectroscopic survey of over six million objects. It is designed to decode the history of the Milky Way, trace the emergence of the chemical…
Initial Mass Function Variability (or not) Among \\ Low-Velocity Dispersion, Compact Stellar Systems
Alexa Villaume, Jean Brodie, Charlie Conroy +2
Analyses of strong gravitational lenses, galaxy-scale kinematics, and absorption line stellar population synthesis (SPS) have all concluded that the stellar initial mass function (…
Signatures of unresolved binaries in stellar spectra: implications for spectral fitting
Kareem El-Badry, Hans-Walter Rix, Yuan-Sen Ting +5
The observable spectrum of an unresolved binary star system is a superposition of two single-star spectra. Even without a detectable velocity offset between the two stellar compone…
The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/VIRGO GW170817. VII. Properties of the Host Galaxy and Constraints on the Merger Timescale
P. K. Blanchard, E. Berger, W. Fong +21
We present the properties of NGC 4993, the host galaxy of GW170817, the first gravitational wave (GW) event from the merger of a binary neutron star (BNS) system and the first with…
Stellar Absorption Line Analysis of Local Star-Forming Galaxies: The Relation Between Stellar Mass, Metallicity, Dust Attenuation and Star Formation Rate
H. Jabran Zahid, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, Charlie Conroy +2
We analyze the optical continuum of star-forming galaxies in SDSS by fitting stacked spectra with stellar population synthesis models to investigate the relation between stellar ma…
Measuring 14 elemental abundances with R=1,800 LAMOST spectra
Yuan-Sen Ting, Hans-Walter Rix, Charlie Conroy +2
The LAMOST survey has acquired low-resolution spectra (R=1,800) for 5 million stars across the Milky Way, far more than any current stellar survey at a corresponding or higher spec…
