The APOGEE Stellar Parameter and Chemical Abundance Pipeline (ASPCAP) has now produced individual chemical abundances for 15 different elements: C, N, O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, K, Ca, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, and Ni. We will present comparisons of the ASPCAP abundances for stars in clusters with those derived from manual stellar parameter and abundance analyses

We present detailed photoionization models of eight Galactic planetary nebulae (IC2165, IC3568, NGC2440, NGC3242, NGC5315, NGC5882, NGC7662, & PB6) based on recently obtained HST STIS spectra. Our interim goal is to infer Teff, luminosity, and current and progenitor masses for each central star, while the ultimate goal is to constrain published

We present a study of the H II regions in the galaxy NGC 6754 from a two pointing mosaic comprising 197 637 individual spectra, using integral field spectroscopy recently acquired with the MUSE instrument during its Science Verification program. The data cover the entire galaxy out to ~2 effective radii (re), sampling its morphological structures

Imagine we could do asteroseismology of large samples of OB-type stars by using just one spectrum per target. That would be great! But this is probably a crazy and stupid idea. Or maybe not. Maybe we have the possibility to open a new window to investigate stellar oscillations in massive stars that has been in front of us for many years, but has

Strong gravitational lensing has recently become one of the most important tools for studying star formation properties in extremely high redshift galaxies. Dust-obscured star-forming galaxies found at far-infrared/sub-millimeter wavelengths are important in the assembly of stellar mass and the evolution of massive galaxies. We present

We present an analysis of five spatially resolved planetary nebulae (PNe), NGC 5315, NGC 5882, NGC 7662, IC 2165, and IC 3568, from observations in the Cycle 19 program GO 12600 using HST STIS. Details of the observations and data are presented in the poster by Dufour et al. in this session. These five observations cover the wavelength range 1150
