FOBOS: A Next-Generation Spectroscopic Facility at the W. M. Keck Observatory
K. Bundy, K. Westfall, N. MacDonald +38
High-multiplex and deep spectroscopic follow-up of upcoming panoramic deep-imaging surveys like LSST, Euclid, and WFIRST is a widely recognized and increasingly urgent necessity. N…
In Pursuit of Galactic Archaeology: Astro2020 Science White Paper
Melissa Ness, Jonathan Bird, Jennifer Johnson +30
The next decade affords tremendous opportunity to achieve the goals of Galactic archaeology. That is, to reconstruct the evolutionary narrative of the Milky Way, based on the empir…
The Origin of Elements Across Cosmic Time: Astro2020 Science White Paper
Jennifer A. Johnson, Gail Zasowski, David Weinberg +14
The problem of the origin of the elements is a fundamental one in astronomy and one that has many open questions. Prominent examples include (1) the nature of Type Ia supernovae an…
The GALAH survey: unresolved triple Sun-like stars discovered by the Gaia mission
Klemen Čotar, Tomaž Zwitter, Gregor Traven +16
The latest Gaia data release enables us to accurately identify stars that are more luminous than would be expected on the basis of their spectral type and distance. During an inves…
Photospheric diagnostics of core helium burning in giant stars
Keith Hawkins, Yuan-Sen Ting, Hans-Walter Rix
Core helium burning primary red clump (RC) stars are evolved red giant stars which are excellent standard candles. As such, these stars are routinely used to map the Milky Way or d…
Signatures of unresolved binaries in stellar spectra: implications for spectral fitting
Kareem El-Badry, Hans-Walter Rix, Yuan-Sen Ting +5
The observable spectrum of an unresolved binary star system is a superposition of two single-star spectra. Even without a detectable velocity offset between the two stellar compone…
