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…

Two Groups of Red Giants with Distinct Chemical Abundances in the Bulge Globular Cluster NGC 6553 Through the Eyes of APOGEE

Baitian Tang, Roger E. Cohen, Doug Geisler +18

Multiple populations revealed in globular clusters (GCs) are important windows to the formation and evolution of these stellar systems. The metal-rich GCs in the Galactic bulge are…

The Astropy Problem

Demitri Muna, Michael Alexander, Alice Allen +151

The Astropy Project (http://astropy.org) is, in its own words, "a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy in Python and foster interoperability between Pyth…

Chemical Abundance Analysis of Moving Group W11450 (Latham 1)

Julia E. O'Connell, Kylee Martens, Peter M. Frinchaboy

We present elemental abundances for all seven stars in Moving Group W11450 (Latham 1) to determine if they may be chemically related. These stars appear to be both spatially and ki…

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…

Cosmic variance in [O/Fe] in the Galactic disk

S. Bertran de Lis, C. Allende Prieto, S. R. Majewski +11

We examine the distribution of the [O/Fe] abundance ratio in stars across the Galactic disk using H-band spectra from the Apache Point Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). We mi…
