The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA Derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools and Stellar Library

D. S. Aguado, Romina Ahumada, Andres Almeida +230

Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years o…

Using APOGEE Wide Binaries to Test Chemical Tagging with Dwarf Stars

Jeff J. Andrews, Borja Anguiano, Julio Chanamé +4

Stars of a common origin are thought to have similar, if not nearly identical, chemistry. Chemical tagging seeks to exploit this fact to identify Milky Way subpopulations through t…

The origin of accreted stellar halo populations in the Milky Way using APOGEE, , and the EAGLE simulations

J. Ted Mackereth, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Joel Pfeffer +12

Recent work indicates that the nearby Galactic halo is dominated by the debris from a major accretion event. We confirm that result from an analysis of APOGEE-DR14 element abundanc…

APOGEE Data Releases 13 and 14: Data and Analysis

Jon A. Holtzman, Sten Hasselquist, Matthew Shetrone +23

Data and analysis methodology used for the SDSS/APOGEE Data Releases 13 and 14 are described, highlighting differences from the DR12 analysis presented in Holtzman (2015). Some imp…

A comprehensive comparison between APOGEE and LAMOST: Radial Velocities and Atmospheric Stellar Parameters

B. Anguiano, S. R. Majewski, C. Allende-Prieto +7

We undertake a critical and comprehensive comparison of the radial velocities and the main stellar atmospheric parameters for stars in common between the latest data releases from…

The GALAH survey: a catalogue of carbon-enhanced stars and CEMP candidates

Klemen Čotar, Tomaž Zwitter, Janez Kos +19

Swan bands - characteristic molecular absorption features of the C molecule - are a spectroscopic signature of carbon-enhanced stars. They can also be used to identify carbon-e…

Disk-Like Chemistry of the Triangulum-Andromeda Overdensity as Seen by APOGEE

Christian R. Hayes, Steven R. Majewski, Sten Hasselquist +15

The nature of the Triangulum-Andromeda (TriAnd) system has been debated since the discovery of this distant, low-latitude Milky Way (MW) overdensity more than a decade ago. Explana…

The GALAH Survey: Second Data Release

S. Buder, M. Asplund, L. Duong +39

The Galactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH) survey is a large-scale stellar spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way and designed to deliver chemical information complementary to a l…

The GALAH Survey: Stellar streams and how stellar velocity distributions vary with Galactic longitude, hemisphere and metallicity

Alice C. Quillen, Gayandhi De Silva, Sanjib Sharma +30

Using GALAH survey data of nearby stars, we look at how structure in the planar (u,v) velocity distribution depends on metallicity and on viewing direction within the Galaxy. In ne…

The GALAH Survey: Velocity fluctuations in the Milky Way using red clump giants

Shourya Khanna, Sanjib Sharma, Joss Bland-Hawthorn +20

If the Galaxy is axisymmetric and in dynamical equilibrium, we expect negligible fluctuations in the residual line-of-sight velocity field. Recent results using the \apg{} survey f…

The GALAH Survey: Verifying abundance trends in the open cluster M67 using non-LTE spectroscopy

Xudong Gao, Karin Lind, Anish M. Amarsi +28

Open cluster members are coeval and share the same initial bulk chemical compositions. Consequently, differences in surface abundances between members of a cluster that are at diff…

The GALAH Survey: Accurate Radial Velocities and Library of Observed Stellar Template Spectra

Tomaž Zwitter, Janez Kos, Andrea Chiavassa +34

GALAH is a large-scale magnitude-limited southern stellar spectroscopic survey. Its second data release (GALAH DR2) provides values of stellar parameters and abundances of 23 eleme…

The GALAH survey: properties of the Galactic disk(s) in the solar neighbourhood

L. Duong, K. C. Freeman, M. Asplund +26

Using data from the GALAH pilot survey, we determine properties of the Galactic thin and thick disks near the solar neighbourhood. The data cover a small range of Galactocentric ra…
