    Identification of Neodymium in the Apogee H-Band Spectra
    We present the detection of 10 lines of singly ionized neodymium (Nd ii, Z = 60) in H-band spectra using observations from the SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory...

    Identification of Superclusters and Their Properties in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Using the WHL Cluster Catalog
    Superclusters are the largest massive structures in the cosmic web, on tens to hundreds of megaparsec scales. They are the largest assembly of galaxy clusters...

    Identifying RR Lyrae Variable Stars in Six Years of the Dark Energy Survey
    We present a search for RR Lyrae stars using the full six-year data set from the Dark Energy Survey covering ∼5000 deg 2 of the southern sky. Using a multistage...

    Identifying Sagittarius Stream Stars by Their APOGEE Chemical Abundance Signatures
    The SDSS-IV Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey provides precise chemical abundances of 18 chemical elements for ∼176,000 red...

    Identifying the Rotation Rate and the Presence of Dynamic Weather on Extrasolar Earth-like Planets from Photometric Observations
    With the recent discoveries of hundreds of extrasolar planets, the search for planets like Earth and life in the universe is quickly gaining momentum. In the...

    Imaging the Environment of a z = 6.3 Submillimeter Galaxy with SCUBA-2
    We describe a search for submillimeter emission in the vicinity of one of the most distant, luminous galaxies known, HerMES FLS3, at z = 6.34, exploiting it as...

    Impacts of Bar-driven Shear and Shocks on Star Formation
    Bars drive gas inflow. As the gas flows inward, shocks and shear occur along the bar dust lanes. Such shocks and shear can affect the star formation (SF) and...

    Improved Search of Principal Component Analysis Databases for Spectro-polarimetric Inversion
    We describe a simple technique for the acceleration of spectro-polarimetric inversions based on principal component analysis (PCA) of Stokes profiles. This...
