APOGEE Kinematics I: Overview of the Kinematics of the Galactic Bulge as Mapped by APOGEE
M. Ness, G. Zasowski, J. A. Johnson +12
We present the stellar kinematics across the Galactic bulge and into the disk at positive longitudes from the SDSS-III APOGEE spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way. APOGEE includes…
The Metallicity Distribution of the Milky Way Bulge
M. Ness, K. Freeman
The Galactic bulge of the Milky Way is made up of stars with a broad range of metallicity, -3.0 < [Fe/H] < 1 dex. The mean of the Metallicity Distribution Function (MDF) decreases…
Extremely metal-poor stars from the cosmic dawn in the bulge of the Milky Way
L. M. Howes, A. R. Casey, M. Asplund +22
The first stars are predicted to have formed within 200 million years after the Big Bang, initiating the cosmic dawn. A true first star has not yet been discovered, although stars…
A Kiloparsec-Scale Nuclear Stellar Disk in the Milky Way as a Possible Explanation of the High Velocity Peaks in the Galactic Bulge
Victor P. Debattista, Melissa Ness, Samuel W. F. Earp +1
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment has measured the stellar velocities of red giant stars in the inner Milky Way. We confirm that the line of sight velocity…
The Nature and Orbit of the Ophiuchus Stream
B. Sesar, J. Bovy, E. J. Bernard +20
The Ophiuchus stream is a recently discovered stellar tidal stream in the Milky Way. We present high-quality spectroscopic data for 14 stream member stars obtained using the Keck a…
