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
Chemodynamical evolution of the Milky Way disk - I. The solar vicinity
- I. Minchev, C. Chiappini, M. Martig
- Physics
- 7 August 2012
[Abridged] In this first paper of this series, we present a new approach for studying the chemo-dynamical evolution in disk galaxies, which consists of fusing disk chemical evolution models with… Expand
The Wobbly Galaxy : kinematics north and south with RAVE red-clump giants
- M. Williams, M. Steinmetz, +23 authors T. Zwitter
- Physics
- 11 February 2013
The RAdial Velocity Experiment survey, combined with proper motions and distance estimates, can be used to study in detail stellar kinematics in the extended solar neighbourhood (solar suburb). Using… Expand
Vertical density waves in the Milky Way disc induced by the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
- F. G'omez, I. Minchev, B. O'Shea, T. Beers, J. Bullock, Chris W. Purcell
- Physics
- 12 July 2012
Recently, Widrow and collaborators announced the discovery of vertical density waves in the Milky Way disk. Here we investigate a scenario where these waves were induced by the Sagittarius dwarf… Expand
Chemodynamical evolution of the Milky Way disk II: Variations with Galactic radius and height above the disk plane
- I. Minchev, C. Chiappini, M. Martig
- Physics
- 22 January 2014
the date of receipt and acceptance should be inserted later Abstract. In the first paper of this series (paper I) we presented a new approach for studying the chemodynamical evolution in disk… Expand
Chemodynamics of the Milky Way - I. The first year of APOGEE data
- F. Anders, C. Chiappini, +38 authors G. Zasowski
- Physics
- 18 November 2013
We investigate the chemo-kinematic properties of the Milky Way disc by exploring the first year of data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), and compare our… Expand
The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey
- G. Gilmore, S. Randich, +272 authors T. Zwitter
- Physics
- 1 March 2012
The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey has begun and will obtain high quality spectroscopy of some 100000 Milky Way stars, in the field and in open clusters, down to magnitude 19, systematically ...
A NEW MECHANISM FOR RADIAL MIGRATION IN GALACTIC DISKS: SPIRAL-BAR RESONANCE OVERLAP
- I. Minchev, B. Famaey
- Physics
- 9 November 2009
While it has long been known that a large number of short-lived transient spirals can cause stellar migration, here we report that another mechanism is also effective at mixing disks of barred… Expand
Evolution of galactic discs: multiple patterns, radial migration, and disc outskirts
- I. Minchev, B. Famaey, +5 authors J. Bland-hawthorn
- Physics
- 12 March 2012
We investigate the evolution of galactic disks in N-body Tree-SPH simulations. We find that disks, initially truncated a t three scalelengths, can triple their radial extent, solely driven by se… Expand
Tracing chemical evolution over the extent of the Milky Way's Disk with APOGEE Red Clump Stars
- D. Nidever, J. Bovy, +40 authors M. Skrutskie
- Physics
- 11 September 2014
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 abundances of stars… Expand
