Stellar Spins in the Pleiades, Praesepe, and M35 Open Clusters

Brian F. Healy, P. R. McCullough, Kevin C. Schlaufman

We analyze spectroscopic and photometric data to determine the projected inclinations of stars in three open clusters: the Pleiades, Praesepe, and M35. We determine the va…

Final Targeting Strategy for the SDSS-IV APOGEE-2S Survey

Felipe A. Santana, Rachael L. Beaton, Kevin R. Covey +43

APOGEE is a high-resolution (R sim 22,000), near-infrared, multi-epoch, spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way. The second generation of the APOGEE project, APOGEE-2, includes an ex…

The Most Metal-poor Stars in the Magellanic Clouds are -process Enhanced

Henrique Reggiani, Kevin C. Schlaufman, Andrew R. Casey +2

The chemical abundances of a galaxy's metal-poor stellar population can be used to investigate the earliest stages of its formation and chemical evolution. The Magellanic Clouds ar…

The Occurrence-weighted Median Planets Discovered by Transit Surveys Orbiting Solar-type Stars and Their Implications for Planet Formation and Evolution

Kevin C. Schlaufman, Noah D. Halpern

Since planet occurrence and primordial atmospheric retention probability increase with period, the occurrence-weighted median planets discovered by transit surveys may bear little…

The Age-Metallicity-Specific Orbital Energy Relation for the Milky Way's Globular Cluster System Confirms the Importance of Accretion for Its Formation

Turner Woody, Kevin C. Schlaufman

Globular clusters can form inside their host galaxies at high redshift when gas densities were higher and gas-rich mergers were common. They can also form inside lower-mass galaxie…
