ASPCAP: The Apogee Stellar Parameter and Chemical Abundances Pipeline

Ana E. García Pérez, Carlos Allende Prieto, Jon A. Holtzman +27

The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) has built the largest moderately high-resolution (R=22, 500) spectroscopic map of the stars across the Milky Way…

An efficient, compact, and versatile fiber double scrambler for high precision radial velocity instruments

Samuel Halverson, Arpita Roy, Suvrath Mahadevan +5

We present the design and test results of a compact optical fiber double-scrambler for high-resolution Doppler radial velocity instruments. This device consists of a single optic:…

Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Metallicity Distribution Functions and the Chemical Structure of the Milky Way Disk

Michael R. Hayden, Jo Bovy, Jon A. Holtzman +32

Using a sample of 69,919 red giants from the SDSS-III/APOGEE Data Release 12, we measure the distribution of stars in the [/Fe] vs. [Fe/H] plane and the metallicity distribution…

The APOGEE Spectroscopic Survey of Kepler Planet Hosts: Feasibility, Efficiency, and First Results

Scott W. Fleming, Suvrath Mahadevan, Rohit Deshpande +33

The Kepler mission has yielded a large number of planet candidates from among the Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs), but spectroscopic follow-up of these relatively faint stars is…

Abundances, Stellar Parameters, and Spectra From the SDSS-III/APOGEE Survey

Jon A. Holtzman, Matthew Shetrone, Jennifer A. Johnson +39

The SDSS-III/APOGEE survey operated from 2011-2014 using the APOGEE spectrograph, which collects high-resolution (R~22,500), near-IR (1.51-1.70 microns) spectra with a multiplexing…
