Improving Radial Velocities by Marginalizing over Stars and Sky: Achieving 30 m/s RV Precision for APOGEE in the Plate Era

Andrew K. Saydjari, Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Adam J. Wheeler +7

The radial velocity catalog from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) is unique in its simultaneously large volume and high precision as a result of…

Chemical Cartography with APOGEE: Mapping Disk Populations with a Two-Process Model and Residual Abundances

David H. Weinberg, Jon A. Holtzman, Jennifer A. Johnson +33

We apply a novel statistical analysis to measurements of 16 elemental abundances in 34,410 Milky Way disk stars from the final data release (DR17) of APOGEE-2. Building on recent w…

Optical Properties of Host Galaxies of Extragalactic Nuclear Water Masers

Guangtun Zhu, Ingyin Zaw, Michael R. Blanton +1

We study the optical properties of the host galaxies of nuclear 22 GHz (lambda=1.35 cm) water masers. To do so, we cross-match the galaxy sample surveyed for water maser emission (…
