The Detailed Science Case for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer, 2019 edition
2019
(Abridged) The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE) is an end-to-end science platform for the design, execution and scientific exploitation of spectroscopic surveys. It will unveil the composition and dynamics of the faint Universe and impact nearly every field of astrophysics across all spatial scales, from individual stars to the largest scale structures in the Universe. Major pillars in the science program for MSE include (i) the ultimate Gaia follow-up facility for understanding the chemistry and dynamics of the distant Milky Way, including the outer disk and faint stellar halo at high spectral resolution (ii) galaxy formation and evolution at cosmic noon, via the type of revolutionary…
La recherche publique en France en 2019 : Diagnostic et propositions du Comité national
2019
Projet porté par le Comité National du CNRS.; Dans le contexte de la préparation d’une loi de programmation pluriannuelle de la recherche, ce document présente la contribution du Comité national de la recherche scientifique à l’analyse de la situation de la recherche publique en France, de son évolution récente (depuis la loi LRU de 2008) et de ses perspectives, ainsi qu’un ensemble de propositions qui ont été finalisées et ont fait l’objet d’une approbation solennelle lors de la session plénière du Comité national organisée à Paris le 4 juillet 2019.
The Second APOKASC Catalog: The Empirical Approach
2018
We present a catalog of stellar properties for a large sample of 6676 evolved stars with APOGEE spectroscopic parameters and \textit{Kepler} asteroseismic data analyzed using five independent techniques. Our data includes evolutionary state, surface gravity, mean density, mass, radius, age, and the spectroscopic and asteroseismic measurements used to derive them. We employ a new empirical approach for combining asteroseismic measurements from different methods, calibrating the inferred stellar parameters, and estimating uncertainties. With high statistical significance, we find that asteroseismic parameters inferred from the different pipelines have systematic offsets that are not removed b…
