The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), one of the programs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III), has now completed its systematic, homogeneous spectroscopic…
THE TENTH DATA RELEASE OF THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY: FIRST SPECTROSCOPIC DATA FROM THE SDSS-III APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY GALACTIC EVOLUTION EXPERIMENT
- Christopher P. Ahn, R. Alexandroff, G. Zhu
- Physics
- 29 July 2013
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has been in operation since 2000 April. This paper presents the Tenth Public Data Release (DR10) from its current incarnation, SDSS-III. This data release includes…
THE MILKY WAY'S CIRCULAR-VELOCITY CURVE BETWEEN 4 AND 14 kpc FROM APOGEE DATA
- J. Bovy, C. Allende Prieto, 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…
Lithium Isotopic Abundances in Metal-poor Halo Stars
- M. Asplund, D. Lambert, P. Nissen, F. Primas, V. Smith
- Physics
- 21 October 2005
Very high quality spectra of 24 metal-poor halo dwarfs and subgiants have been acquired with ESO's VLT/UVES for the purpose of determining Li isotopic abundances. The derived one-dimensional, non-LTE…
Nucleosynthesis and Mixing on the Asymptotic Giant Branch. III. Predicted and Observed s-Process Abundances
- M. Busso, R. Gallino, D. Lambert, C. Travaglio, V. Smith
- Physics
- 26 April 2001
We present the results of s-process nucleosynthesis calculations for asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of different metallicities and different initial stellar masses (1.5 and 3 M☉), and we present…
The Chemical Evolution of the Globular Cluster ω Centauri (NGC 5139)
- V. Smith, N. Suntzeff, O. Straniero
- Physics
- 1 March 2000
We present abundances for 22 chemical elements in 10 red giant members of the massive Galactic globular cluster ω Centauri. The spectra are of relatively high spectral resolution and signal-to-noise.…
