SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM): The Integrated Light and Internal Rotation of Omega Centauri
Maximilian Häberle, Dmitry Bizyaev, Alina Boecker +34
The SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM) is a wide-field integral field spectroscopic survey of the Southern Milky Way plane, the Magellanic Clouds, and nearby Local Group galaxies. We…
The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper
SDSS Collaboration, Mojgan Aghakhanloo, David Aguilar +273
The paper describes the twentieth data release (DR20) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, providing over 3 million new optical spectra from the SDSS‑V Milky Way, Black Hole, and Local…
There is no single density: star-forming regions and galaxies hold more dense ionized gas than long assumed
J. Eduardo Méndez-Delgado, Christophe Morisset, William J. Henney +29
Ionized gas fills star-forming regions and galaxies, and nearly everything we know about its temperature, pressure, mass, and composition is inferred from its emission lines [1-3].…
Milky Way Mapper decoded abundances -- II: From patterns to paths
Melissa K. Ness, Sarah Aquilina, Jennifer Mead +15
The element abundances of Milky Way disc stars encode entangled imprints of multiple enrichment processes, making it difficult to uncover the underlying chemical evolution. Here we…
Milky Way Mapper decoded abundances -- I. Shared disc enrichment patterns
Melissa K. Ness, Sarah Aquilina, Jennifer Mead +15
Elemental abundances in the Milky Way disc trace its star-formation and enrichment history, but predicting these abundances from theory is limited by uncertain nucleosynthetic yiel…
SDSS-V LVM: Verifying what, and where, the 'Galactic Center' Lobe is
K. Kreckel, O. V. Egorov, N. Drory +23
The so-called 'Galactic Center' Lobe (GCL) is an extended (~1 deg) radio continuum feature situated above the Galactic Plane, for which the literature contains varying claims about…
