Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Large-scale Mean Metallicity Maps of the Milky Way
Michael R. Hayden, Jon A. Holtzman, Jo Bovy +27
We present Galactic mean metallicity maps derived from the first year of the SDSS-III APOGEE experiment. Mean abundances in different zones of Galactocentric radius (0 < R < 15 kpc…
Discovery of a Dynamical Cold Point in the Heart of the Sagittarius dSph Galaxy with Observations from the APOGEE Project
Steven R. Majewski, Sten Hasselquist, Ewa L. Łokas +30
The dynamics of the core of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy are explored using high-resolution (R~22,500), H-band, near-infrared spectra of over 1,000 giant st…
The Open Cluster Chemical Analysis and Mapping Survey: Local Galactic Metallicity Gradient with APOGEE using SDSS DR10
Peter M. Frinchaboy, Benjamin Thompson, Kelly M. Jackson +31
The Open Cluster Chemical Analysis and Mapping (OCCAM) Survey aims to produce a comprehensive, uniform, infrared-based dataset for hundreds of open clusters, and constrain key Gala…
A glance at the host galaxy of high-redshift quasars using strong damped Lyman-alpha systems as coronagraphs
Hayley Finley, Patrick Petitjean, Isabelle Pâris +14
We searched quasar spectra from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) for the rare occurrences where a strong damped Lyman-alpha absorber (DLA) blocks the Bro…
Hypervelocity Star Candidates in the SEGUE G & K Dwarf Sample
Lauren E. Palladino, Katharine J. Schlesinger, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +4
We present 20 candidate hypervelocity stars from the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE) G and K dwarf samples. Previous searches for hypervelocity s…
