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…
Evidence for a metal-poor population in the inner Galactic Bulge
M. Schultheis, K. Cunha, G. Zasowski +14
The inner Galactic Bulge has, until recently, been avoided in chemical evolution studies due to extreme extinction and stellar crowding. Large, near-IR spectroscopic surveys, such…
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE)
Steven R. Majewski, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Peter M. Frinchaboy +75
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), one of the programs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III), has now completed its systematic, homogeneo…
Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Metallicity Distribution Functions and the Chemical Structure of the Milky Way Disk
