The power spectrum of the Milky Way: Velocity fluctuations in the Galactic disk
Jo Bovy, Jonathan C. Bird, Ana E. García Pérez +3
We investigate the kinematics of stars in the mid-plane of the Milky Way on scales between 25 pc and 10 kpc with data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experimen…
Reverberation Mapping of the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 7469
B. M. Peterson, C. J. Grier, Keith Horne +43
A large reverberation mapping study of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 7469 has yielded emission-line lags for Hbeta 4861 and He II 4686 and a central black hole mass measurement of about…
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…
The Vertical Metallicity Gradient of the Milky Way Disk: Transitions in [a/Fe] Populations
Katharine J. Schlesinger, Jennifer A. Johnson, Constance M. Rockosi +10
Using G dwarfs from the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE) survey, we have determined a vertical metallicity gradient over a large volume of the Mil…
