Atypical Mg-poor Milky Way field stars with globular cluster second-generation like chemical patterns

J. G. Fernández-Trincado, O. Zamora, D. A. Garcia-Hernandez +48

We report the peculiar chemical abundance patterns of eleven atypical Milky Way (MW) field red giant stars observed by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (A…

The age-metallicity structure of the Milky Way disk

J. Ted Mackereth, Jo Bovy, Ricardo P. Schiavon +11

The measurement of the structure of stellar populations in the Milky Way disk places fundamental constraints on models of galaxy formation and evolution. Previously, the disk's str…

Chemical tagging with APOGEE: Discovery of a large population of N-rich stars in the inner Galaxy

Ricardo P. Schiavon, Olga Zamora, Ricardo Carrera +42

Formation of globular clusters (GCs), the Galactic bulge, or galaxy bulges in general, are important unsolved problems in Galactic astronomy. Homogeneous infrared observations of l…

Discovery of a Metal-Poor Field Giant with a Globular Cluster Second-Generation Abundance Pattern

J. G. Fernández-Trincado, A. C. Robin, E. Moreno +31

We report on detection, from observations obtained with the APOGEE spectroscopic survey, of a metal-poor ([Fe/H] dex) field giant star with an extreme Mg-Al abundance rati…
