Radial Velocities for 889 Late-Type Stars*
- D. Nidever, G. Marcy, +6 authors University of California Santa Cruz Department of Astronomy
- Physics
- 20 December 2001
We report radial velocities for 844 FGKM-type main-sequence and subgiant stars and 45 K giants, most of which had either low-precision velocity measurements or none at all. These velocities differ… Expand
The Milky Way's circular velocity curve between 4 and 14 kpc from APOGEE data
- J. Bovy, C. Prieto, +30 authors G. Zasowski
- Physics
- 4 September 2012
We measure the Milky Way's rotation curve over the Galactocentric range 4 kpc R 14 kpc from the first year of data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment. We model the… Expand
CHEMICAL CARTOGRAPHY with APOGEE: METALLICITY DISTRIBUTION FUNCTIONS and the CHEMICAL STRUCTURE of the MILKY WAY DISK
- M. Hayden, J. Bovy, +32 authors G. Zasowski
- Physics
- 7 March 2015
Using a sample of 69,919 red giants from the SDSS-III/APOGEE Data Release 12, we measure the distribution of stars in the [/Fe] versus [Fe/H] plane and the metallicity distribution functions (MDFs)… Expand
ABUNDANCES, STELLAR PARAMETERS, AND SPECTRA FROM THE SDSS-III/APOGEE SURVEY
- J. Holtzman, M. Shetrone, +39 authors G. Zasowski
- Physics
- 16 January 2015
The SDSS-III/Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey operated from 2011–2014 using the APOGEE spectrograph, which collects high-resolution (R ~ 22,500), near-IR… Expand
The Dark Energy Survey Data Release 1
- T. Abbott, F. Abdalla, +199 authors J. Zuntz
- Physics
- 9 January 2018
We describe the first public data release of the Dark Energy Survey, DES DR1, consisting of reduced single epoch images, coadded images, coadded source catalogs, and associated products and services… Expand
Exploring Halo Substructure with Giant Stars. XI. The Tidal Tails of the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy and the Discovery of Magellanic Cloud Stars in the Carina Foreground
- R. Munoz, S. Majewski, +10 authors S. Shectman
- Physics
- 3 May 2006
A new large-area Washington M, T2+DDO51 filter survey of more than 10 deg2 around the Carina dSph galaxy reveals a spectroscopically confirmed power-law radial density "break" population of Carina… Expand
Constraining the difference in convective blueshift between the components of alpha Centauri with precise radial velocities
- D. Pourbaix, D. Nidever, +12 authors D. Kent
- Physics
- 21 February 2002
New radial velocities of Cen A & B obtained in the framework the Anglo-Australian Planet Search programme as well as in the CORALIE programme are added to those by Endl et al. (2001) to improve the… Expand
The 200 Degree-Long Magellanic Stream System
- D. Nidever, S. Majewski, W. Burton, L. Nigra
- Physics
- 31 August 2010
We establish that the Magellanic Stream (MS) is some 40 degrees longer than previously known with certainty and that the entire MS and Leading Arm (LA) system is thus at least 200 degrees long. With… Expand
The APOGEE Red-clump Catalog: Precise Distances, Velocities, and High-resolution Elemental Abundances over a Large Area of the Milky Way's Disk
