    The new 4-m robotic telescope
    We present a project to build a 4-m-diameter telescope (New Robotic Telescope [NRT]) with fully robotic operation. The telescope will be sited at the...

    The NGC 346 massive star census. Nitrogen abundances for apparently single, narrow lined, hydrogen core burning B-type stars
    Previous analyses of two large spectroscopic surveys of early-type stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have found an excess of nitrogen enriched B-type...

    The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey. II. Precision Cluster Abundances for APOGEE Using SDSS DR14
    The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping (OCCAM) survey aims to produce a comprehensive, uniform, infrared-based spectroscopic data set for hundreds of...

    The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey. IV. Abundances for 128 Open Clusters Using SDSS/APOGEE DR16
    The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping (OCCAM) survey aims to constrain key Galactic dynamical and chemical evolution parameters by the construction...

    The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey. VI. Galactic Chemical Gradient Analysis from APOGEE DR17
    The goal of the Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping (OCCAM) survey is to constrain key Galactic dynamic and chemical evolution parameters by the...

    The Open Cluster Chemical Abundances and Mapping Survey. VII. APOGEE DR17 [C/N]-Age Calibration
    Large-scale surveys open the possibility to investigate Galactic evolution both chemically and kinematically; however, reliable stellar ages remain a major...

    The open cluster King 1 in the second quadrant
    We analyse the poorly studied open cluster King 1 in the second Galactic quadrant. From wide-field photometry, we have studied the spatial distribution of this...

    The Orbit and Origin of the Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy Segue 1
    We present the first proper motion measurement for an ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxy, Segue 1, using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the...

    The Origin of the 300 km s‑1 Stream near Segue 1
    We present a search for new members of the 300 km s‑1 stream (300S) near the dwarf galaxy Segue 1 using wide-field survey data. We identify 11 previously...
