The Bulge Metallicity Distribution from the APOGEE Survey
Ana E. Garcia Perez, Melissa Ness, Annie C. Robin +14
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) provides spectroscopic information of regions of the inner Milky Way inaccessible to optical surveys. We present…
Elemental Abundances of Kepler Objects of Interest in APOGEE. I. Two Distinct Orbital Period Regimes Inferred from Host Star Iron Abundances
Robert F. Wilson, Johanna Teske, Steven R. Majewski +13
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) has observed 600 transiting exoplanets and exoplanet candidates from \textit{Kepler} (Kepler Objects of In…
Disentangling the Galactic Halo with APOGEE: II. Chemical and Star Formation Histories for the Two Distinct Populations
Emma Fernández-Alvar, Leticia Carigi, William J. Schuster +13
The formation processes that led to the current Galactic stellar halo are still under debate. Previous studies have provided evidence for different stellar populations in terms of…
Disentangling the Galactic Halo with APOGEE: I. Chemical and Kinematical Investigation of Distinct Metal-Poor Populations
Christian R. Hayes, Steven R. Majewski, Matthew Shetrone +21
We find two chemically distinct populations separated relatively cleanly in the [Fe/H] - [Mg/Fe] plane, but also distinguished in other chemical planes, among metal-poor stars (pri…
Global Properties of M31's Stellar Halo from the SPLASH Survey: III. Measuring the Stellar Velocity Dispersion Profile
Karoline M. Gilbert, Erik Tollerud, Rachael L. Beaton +7
We present the velocity dispersion of red giant branch (RGB) stars in M31's halo, derived by modeling the line of sight velocity distribution of over 5000 stars in 50 fields spread…
The Hercules stream as seen by APOGEE-2 South
Jason A. S. Hunt, Jo Bovy, Angeles Pérez-Villegas +15
The Hercules stream is a group of co-moving stars in the Solar neighbourhood, which can potentially be explained as a signature of either the outer Lindblad resonance (OLR) of a fa…
