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…

The APOGEE-2 Survey of the Orion Star Forming Complex: I. Target Selection and Validation with early observations

J'Neil Cottle, Kevin R. Covey, Genaro Suárez +26

The Orion Star Forming Complex (OSFC) is a central target for the APOGEE-2 Young Cluster Survey. Existing membership catalogs span limited portions of the OSFC, reflecting the diff…

Three-dimensional dust mapping in the Orion Complex, combining Gaia-TGAS, 2MASS, and WISE

S. Rezaei Kh., C. A. L. Bailer-Jones, E. F. Schlafly +1

We present a map of the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of dust in the Orion complex. Orion is the closest site of high-mass star formation, making it an excellent laboratory f…

UKIRT-2017-BLG-001Lb: A giant planet detected through the dust

Y. Shvartzvald, S. Calchi Novati, B. S. Gaudi +8

We report the discovery of a giant planet in event UKIRT-2017-BLG-001, detected by the UKIRT microlensing survey. The mass ratio between the planet and its host is $q=1.50_{-0.14}^…

A Color-locus Method for Mapping Using Ensembles of Stars

Albert Lee, Gregory M. Green, Edward F. Schlafly +11

We present a simple but effective technique for measuring angular variation in across the sky. We divide stars from the Pan-STARRS1 catalog into Healpix pixels and determine…

The Optical/Near-Infrared Extinction Law In Highly Reddened Regions

M. W. Hosek, J. R. Lu, J. Anderson +6

A precise extinction law is a critical input when interpreting observations of highly reddened sources such as young star clusters and the Galactic Center (GC). We use Hubble Space…

Galactic Reddening in 3D from Stellar Photometry - An Improved Map

Gregory M. Green, Edward F. Schlafly, Douglas Finkbeiner +13

We present a new 3D map of interstellar dust reddening, covering three quarters of the sky (declinations greater than -30 degrees) out to a distance of several kiloparsecs. The map…
