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…

12C/13C isotopic ratios in red-giant stars of the open cluster NGC 6791

László Szigeti, Szabolcs Mészáros, Verne V. Smith +10

Carbon isotope ratios, along with carbon and nitrogen abundances, are derived in a sample of 11 red-giant members of one of the most metal-rich clusters in the Milky Way, NGC 6791.…

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…

Target Selection for the SDSS-IV APOGEE-2 Survey

G. Zasowski, R. E. Cohen, S. D. Chojnowski +34

APOGEE-2 is a high-resolution, near-infrared spectroscopic survey observing roughly 300,000 stars across the entire sky. It is the successor to APOGEE and is part of the Sloan Digi…

APOGEE Chemical Abundances of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy

Sten Hasselquist, Matthew Shetrone, Verne Smith +23

The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) provides the opportunity to measure elemental abundances for C, N, O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, K, Ca, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, C…

Timing the Evolution of the Galactic Disk with NGC 6791: An Open Cluster with Peculiar High- Chemistry as seen by APOGEE

Sean T. Linden, Matthew Pryal, Christian R. Hayes +19

We utilize elemental-abundance information for Galactic red giant stars in five open clusters (NGC 7789, NGC 6819, M67, NGC 188, and NGC 6791) from the Apache Point Observatory Gal…
