APOGEE Chemical Abundances of Globular Cluster Giants in the Inner Galaxy

Ricardo P. Schiavon, Jennifer A. Johnson, Peter M. Frinchaboy +27

We report chemical abundances obtained by SDSS-III/APOGEE for giant stars in five globular clusters located within 2.2 kpc of the Galactic centre. We detect the presence of multipl…

Evidence of AGB pollution in Galactic globular clusters from the Mg-Al anticorrelations observed by the APOGEE survey

P. Ventura, D. A. García--Hernández, F. Dell'Agli +8

We study the formation of multiple populations in globular clusters (GC), under the hypothesis that stars in the second generation formed from the winds of intermediate-mass stars,…

Chemical Abundances in a Sample of Red Giants in the Open Cluster NGC 2420 from APOGEE

Diogo Souto, Katia Cunha, Verne Smith +20

NGC 2420 is a 2 Gyr-old well-populated open cluster that lies about 2 kpc beyond the solar circle, in the general direction of the Galactic anti-center. Most previous abundan…

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…

Chemical tagging in the SDSS-III/APOGEE survey: new identifications of halo stars with globular cluster origins

Sarah Martell, Matthew Shetrone, Sara Lucatello +6

We present new identifications of five red giant stars in the Galactic halo with chemical abundance patterns that indicate they originally formed in globular clusters. Using data f…

Companions to APOGEE Stars I: A Milky Way-Spanning Catalog of Stellar and Substellar Companion Candidates and their Diverse Hosts

Nicholas W. Troup, David L. Nidever, Nathan De Lee +24

In its three years of operation, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-III) Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE-1) observed 14,000 stars with enough epoc…
