The Rich Are Different: Evidence from the RAVE Survey for Stellar Radial Migration

G. Kordopatis, J. Binney, G. Gilmore +21

Using the RAdial Velocity Experiment fourth data release (RAVE DR4), and a new metallicity calibration that will be also taken into account in the future RAVE DR5, we investigate t…

Young alpha-enriched giant stars in the solar neighbourhood

Marie Martig, Hans-Walter Rix, Victor Silva Aguirre +31

We derive age constraints for 1639 red giants in the APOKASC sample for which seismic parameters from Kepler, as well as effective temperatures, metallicities and [alpha/Fe] values…

Tracing chemical evolution over the extent of the Milky Way's Disk with APOGEE Red Clump Stars

David L. Nidever, Jo Bovy, Jonathan C. Bird +40

We employ the first two years of data from the near-infrared, high-resolution SDSS-III/APOGEE spectroscopic survey to investigate the distribution of metallicity and alpha-element…

Chemical gradients in the Milky Way from the RAVE data. II. Giant stars

C. Boeche, A. Siebert, T. Piffl +19

We provide new constraints on the chemo-dynamical models of the Milky Way by measuring the radial and vertical chemical gradients for the elements Mg, Al, Si, Ti, and Fe in the Gal…

Extinction Maps towards the Milky Way Bulge: 2D and 3D Tests with APOGEE

M. Schultheis, G. Zasowski, C. Allende Prieto +15

Galactic interstellar extinction maps are powerful and necessary tools for Milky Way structure and stellar population analyses, particularly toward the heavily-reddened bulge and i…

Explaining the Ba, Y, Sr, and Eu abundance scatter in metal-poor halo stars: constraints to the r-process

Gabriele Cescutti, Cristina Chiappini

Context. Thanks to the heroic observational campaigns carried out in recent years we now have large samples of metal-poor stars for which measurements of detailed abundances exist.…
