Description
The SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) spectrograph provides an unprecedented view of the Milky Way disk, due in part to its ability to observe in the infrared, where the effects of extinction are significantly reduced compared to optical surveys. We present updated results on mean metallicity and chemical abundance gradients using the full three years of APOGEE1 observations and new results of the metallicity distribution function (MDF) and the [α/Fe] vs. [Fe/H] plane at different locations in the Milky Way disk. Our sample comprises nearly high signal-to-noise observations of nearly 100,000 red giant stars taken from SDSS DR12. These observations span the entire Milky Way visible from the northern hemisphere, ranging from the bulge to the edge of the disk (0

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche

    Deep HST Imaging Favors the Bulgeless Edge-on Galaxy Explanation for the Hypothetical Stellar Wake Created by a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole
    A long linear structure recently discovered could be the stellar wake produced by the passage of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) or, alternatively, a bulgeless edge-on galaxy. We report on new very deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging that seems to be in tension with the SMBH runaway scenario but is consistent with the bulgeless edge-on
