Description
SDSS-III's newest release is Data Release 10 (DR10). DR10 contains the
first spectra of the APO Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). APOGEE
is the first high-resolution (R ~ 22,500), high signal-to-noise ratio
(S/N >= 100 per resolution element), H-band (1.51 - 1.70 um) survey
of all Galactic stellar populations (bulge, bar, disks, halo) with a
uniform set of stellar tracers and spectral diagnostics. This poster
will briefly describe the stellar sample included in DR10, review the
data made available in DR10, consisting of fully calibrated, 1-d spectra
radial velocities and the by-products of the APOGEE Stellar Parameters
and Chemical Abundance Pipeline (ASPCAP): effective temperature, surface
gravity, metallicity, and alpha, carbon and nitrogen abundances. We will
also present the web tools that are available to the public and
highlight the most critical warning and bad data flags.
