Chemical Tracing and the Origin of Carbon in the Galactic Disk
A basic problem in studies of the evolution of chemical elements in galaxies is the uncertainties in the yields of elements produced by different types of stars.

The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey. II. Precision Cluster Abundances for APOGEE Using SDSS DR14 [PDF]
The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping (OCCAM) survey aims to produce a comprehensive, uniform, infrared-based spectroscopic data set for hundreds of open clusters, and to constrain key Galactic dynamical and chemical parameters from this ...

Machine learning in APOGEE: Identification of stellar populations through chemical abundances [PDF]
Context. The vast volume of data generated by modern astronomical surveys offers test beds for the application of machine-learning. In these exploratory applications, it is important to evaluate potential existing tools and determine those that are ...

Precision Chemical Abundance Measurements [PDF]
AbstractThis talk covers preliminary work in which we apply a strictly differential line-by-line chemical abundance analysis to high quality UVES spectra of the globular cluster NGC 6752. We achieve extremely high precision in the measurement of relative abundance ratios.

Chemical abundances in Seyfert galaxies – X. Sulphur abundance estimates
ABSTRACT For the first time, the sulphur abundance relative to hydrogen (S/H) in the narrow-line regions of a sample of Seyfert 2 nuclei (Sy 2s) has been derived via direct estimation of the electron temperature. Narrow emission-line intensities from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 17 (DR17) [in the wavelength range 3000

Chemical Abundances of New Member Stars in the Tucana II Dwarf Galaxy [PDF]
We present chemical abundance measurements for seven stars with metallicities ranging from Fe/H] = −3.3 to [Fe/H] = −2.4 in the Tucana II ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD), based on high-resolution spectra obtained with the MIKE spectrograph on the 6.5 m ...
