SDSS-IV from 2014 to 2016: A Detailed Demographic Comparison over Three Years
Amy M. Jones, Rachael L. Beaton, Brian A. Cherinka +24
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is one of the largest international astronomy organizations. We present demographic data based on surveys of its members from 2014, 2015 and 201…
Investigating APOKASC Red Giant Stars with Abnormal Carbon to Nitrogen Ratios
Erica Bufanda, Jamie Tayar, Daniel Huber +2
The success of galactic archaeology and the reconstruction of the formation history of our galaxy critically relies on precise ages for large populations of stars. For evolved star…
Assessing the Accuracy of TESS Asteroseismology with APOGEE
Artemis Theano Theodoridis, Jamie Tayar
The recent NASA TESS mission has the potential to increase the available asteroseismic sample dramatically, but its precision and accuracy have yet to be confirmed. To date, NASA's…
Asteroseismology with the Roman Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey
Daniel Huber, Marc Pinsonneault, Paul Beck +24
Asteroseismology has transformed stellar astrophysics. Red giant asteroseismology is a prime example, with oscillation periods and amplitudes that are readily detectable with time-…
Lithium in Kepler Red Giants: Defining Normal and Anomalous
Jamie Tayar, Joleen K. Carlberg, Claudia Aguilera-Gómez +1
The orders of magnitude variation in lithium abundances of evolved stars have long been a puzzle. Diluted signals, ambiguous evolutionary states and unknown masses have made it cha…
A close-in giant planet escapes engulfment by its star
Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Nicholas Z. Rui +39
When main-sequence stars expand into red giants, they are expected to engulf close-in planets. Until now, the absence of planets with short orbital periods around post-expansion, c…
Revealing the Chemical Structure of the Magellanic Clouds with APOGEE. I. Calculating Individual Stellar Ages of RGB Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Joshua T. Povick, David L. Nidever, Pol Massana +12
Stellar ages are critical for understanding the temporal evolution of a galaxy. We calculate the ages of over 6000 red giant branch stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) observ…
The APO-K2 Catalog. I. 7,673 Red Giants with Fundamental Stellar Parameters from APOGEE DR17 Spectroscopy and K2-GAP Asteroseismology
Jessica Schonhut-Stasik, Joel C. Zinn, Keivan G. Stassun +13
We present a catalog of fundamental stellar properties for 7,673 evolved stars, including stellar radii and masses, determined from the combination of spectroscopic observations fr…
Spectroscopic identification of rapidly rotating red giant stars in APOKASC-3 and APOGEE DR16
Rachel A. Patton, Marc H. Pinsonneault, Lyra Cao +6
Rapidly rotating red giant stars are astrophysically interesting but rare. In this paper we present a catalog of 3217 active red giant candidates in the APOGEE DR16 survey. We use…
A Review of the Mixing Length Theory of Convection in 1D Stellar Modeling
Meridith Joyce, Jamie Tayar
We review the application of the one-dimensional Mixing Length Theory (MLT) model of convection in stellar interiors and low-mass stellar evolution. We summarize the history of MLT…
The Eighteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Targeting and First Spectra from SDSS-V
Andrés Almeida, Scott F. Anderson, Maria Argudo-Fernández +151
The eighteenth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS) is the first one for SDSS-V, the fifth generation of the survey. SDSS-V comprises three primary scientific progr…
