The APOGEE Library of Infrared SSP Templates (A-LIST): High-Resolution Simple Stellar Population Spectral Models in the H-Band

Aishwarya Ashok, Gail Zasowski, Anil Seth +8

Integrated light spectroscopy from galaxies can be used to study the stellar populations that cannot be resolved into individual stars. This analysis relies on stellar population s…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: galaxy gas-phase metallicity gradients vary across the mass-size plane

Nicholas F. Boardman, Gail Zasowski, Jeffrey A. Newman +5

Gas-phase abundances and abundance gradients provide much information on past stellar generations, and are powerful probes of how galaxies evolve. Gas abundance gradients in galaxi…

Orbital Torus Imaging: Using Element Abundances to Map Orbits and Mass in the Milky Way

Adrian M. Price-Whelan, David W. Hogg, Kathryn V. Johnston +9

Many approaches to galaxy dynamics assume that the gravitational potential is simple and the distribution function is time-invariant. Under these assumptions there are traditional…

Are the Milky Way and Andromeda unusual? A comparison with Milky Way and Andromeda Analogs

Nicholas Fraser Boardman, Gail Zasowski, Jeffrey Newman +10

Our Milky Way provides a unique test case for galaxy evolution models, thanks to our privileged position within the Milky Way's disc. This position also complicates comparisons bet…

Open Cluster Chemical Homogeneity Throughout the Milky Way

Vijith Jacob Poovelil, G. Zasowski, S. Hasselquist +10

The chemical homogeneity of surviving stellar clusters contains important clues about interstellar medium (ISM) mixing efficiency, star formation, and the enrichment history of the…

Cool stars in the Galactic Center as seen by APOGEE: M giants, AGB stars and supergiant stars/candidates

M. Schultheis, A. Rojas-Arriagada, K. Cunha +11

The Galactic Center region, including the nuclear disk, has until recently been largely avoided in chemical census studies because of extreme extinction and stellar crowding. Makin…

Exploring the stellar age distribution of the Milky Way Bulge using APOGEE

Sten Hasselquist, Gail Zasowski, Diane K. Feuillet +20

We present stellar age distributions of the Milky Way (MW) bulge region using ages for 6,000 high-luminosity (), metal-rich () bulge stars…

The chemical properties of the Milky Way's on-bar and off-bar regions: evidence for inhomogeneous star formation history in the bulge

Jianhui Lian, Gail Zasowski, Sten Hasselquist +7

Numerous studies of integrated starlight, stellar counts, and kinematics have confirmed that the Milky Way is a barred galaxy. However, far fewer studies have investigated the bar'…

The Milky Way's bulge star formation history as constrained from its bimodal chemical abundance distribution

Jianhui Lian, Gail Zasowski, Sten Hasselquist +9

We conduct a quantitative analysis of the star formation history (SFH) of the Milky Way's bulge by exploiting the constraining power of its stellar [Fe/H] and [Mg/Fe] distribution…

The Effect of Bars on the Ionized ISM: Optical Emission Lines from Milky Way Analogs

Dhanesh Krishnarao, Christy Tremonti, Amelia Fraser-McKelvie +15

Gas interior to the bar of the Milky Way has recently been shown as the closest example of a Low Ionization (Nuclear) Emission Region--LI(N)ER--in the universe. To better understan…

How Many Components? Quantifying the Complexity of the Metallicity Distribution in the Milky Way Bulge with APOGEE

A. Rojas-Arriagada, G. Zasowski, M. Schultheis +14

We use data of 13,000 stars from the SDSS/APOGEE survey to study the shape of the bulge MDF within the region and , and spatially constr…

The Milky Way bar and bulge revealed by APOGEE DR16 and Gaia EDR3

A. B. A. Queiroz, C. Chiappini, A. Perez-Villegas +23

We investigate the inner regions of the Milky Way with a sample of unprecedented size and coverage thanks to APOGEE DR16 and Gaia EDR3 data. Our inner Galactic sample has more than…

The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey: IV. Abundances for 128 Open Clusters using SDSS/APOGEE DR16

John Donor, Peter M. Frinchaboy, Katia Cunha +22

The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping (OCCAM) survey aims to constrain key Galactic dynamical and chemical evolution parameters by the construction of a large, comprehen…

The Chemical Compositions of Accreted and {\it in situ} Galactic Globular Clusters According to SDSS/APOGEE

Danny Horta, Ricardo P. Schiavon, J. Ted Mackereth +16

Studies of the kinematics and chemical compositions of Galactic globular clusters (GCs) enable the reconstruction of the history of star formation, chemical evolution, and mass ass…
