Disentangling the Galactic Halo with APOGEE: II. Chemical and Star Formation Histories for the Two Distinct Populations

Emma Fernández-Alvar, Leticia Carigi, William J. Schuster +13

The formation processes that led to the current Galactic stellar halo are still under debate. Previous studies have provided evidence for different stellar populations in terms of…

Disentangling the Galactic Halo with APOGEE: I. Chemical and Kinematical Investigation of Distinct Metal-Poor Populations

Christian R. Hayes, Steven R. Majewski, Matthew Shetrone +21

We find two chemically distinct populations separated relatively cleanly in the [Fe/H] - [Mg/Fe] plane, but also distinguished in other chemical planes, among metal-poor stars (pri…

Atypical Mg-poor Milky Way field stars with globular cluster second-generation like chemical patterns

J. G. Fernández-Trincado, O. Zamora, D. A. Garcia-Hernandez +48

We report the peculiar chemical abundance patterns of eleven atypical Milky Way (MW) field red giant stars observed by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (A…

The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the second phase of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment

Bela Abolfathi, D. S. Aguado, Gabriela Aguilar +344

The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) has been in operation since July 2014. This paper describes the second data release from this phase, and the fourtee…

Timing the Evolution of the Galactic Disk with NGC 6791: An Open Cluster with Peculiar High- Chemistry as seen by APOGEE

Sean T. Linden, Matthew Pryal, Christian R. Hayes +19

We utilize elemental-abundance information for Galactic red giant stars in five open clusters (NGC 7789, NGC 6819, M67, NGC 188, and NGC 6791) from the Apache Point Observatory Gal…

SMASH - Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History

David L. Nidever, Knut Olsen, Alistair R. Walker +36

The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are unique local laboratories for studying the formation and evolution of small galaxies in exquisite detail. The Survey of the…
