Red giant masses and ages derived from carbon and nitrogen abundances

Marie Martig, Morgan Fouesneau, Hans-Walter Rix +7

We show that the masses of red giant stars can be well predicted from their photospheric carbon and nitrogen abundances, in conjunction with their spectroscopic stellar labels log…

Clear evidence for the presence of second-generation asymptotic giant branch stars in metal-poor Galactic globular clusters

D. A. Garcia-Hernandez, Sz. Meszaros, M. Monelli +5

Galactic globular clusters (GCs) are known to host multiple stellar populations: a first generation with a chemical pattern typical of halo field stars and a second generation (SG)…

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…

Rapid Rotation of Low-Mass Red Giants Using APOKASC: A Measure of Interaction Rates on the Post-main-sequence

Jamie Tayar, Tugdual Ceillier, D. A. García-Hernández +16

We investigate the occurrence rate of rapidly rotating (10 km s), low-mass giant stars in the APOGEE-Kepler (APOKASC) fields with asteroseismic mass and surface…

Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Metallicity Distribution Functions and the Chemical Structure of the Milky Way Disk

Michael R. Hayden, Jo Bovy, Jon A. Holtzman +32

Using a sample of 69,919 red giants from the SDSS-III/APOGEE Data Release 12, we measure the distribution of stars in the [/Fe] vs. [Fe/H] plane and the metallicity distribution…

The APOGEE Spectroscopic Survey of Kepler Planet Hosts: Feasibility, Efficiency, and First Results

Scott W. Fleming, Suvrath Mahadevan, Rohit Deshpande +33

The Kepler mission has yielded a large number of planet candidates from among the Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs), but spectroscopic follow-up of these relatively faint stars is…

New H-band Stellar Spectral Libraries for the SDSS-III/APOGEE survey

O. Zamora, D. A. Garcia-Hernandez, C. Allende Prieto +18

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey--III (SDSS--III) Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) has obtained high resolution (R 22,500), high signal-to-noise r…

The SDSS-III APOGEE Spectral Line List for H-band Spectroscopy

Matthew Shetrone, Dmitry Bizyaev, James Lawler +15

We present the -band spectral line lists adopted by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). The APOGEE line lists comprise astrophysical, theoretica…

Abundances, Stellar Parameters, and Spectra From the SDSS-III/APOGEE Survey

Jon A. Holtzman, Matthew Shetrone, Jennifer A. Johnson +39

The SDSS-III/APOGEE survey operated from 2011-2014 using the APOGEE spectrograph, which collects high-resolution (R~22,500), near-IR (1.51-1.70 microns) spectra with a multiplexing…

Exploring Anticorrelations and Light Element Variations in Northern Globular Clusters Observed by the APOGEE Survey

Szabolcs Meszaros, Sarah L. Martell, Matthew Shetrone +20

We investigate the light-element behavior of red giant stars in Northern globular clusters (GCs) observed by the SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (AP…
