Scientific paper

The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) is a large scale, high-resolution, near-infrared spectroscopic survey of Milky Way stellar populations and one of the four experiments in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III). APOGEE will be based on a new multi-fiber cryogenic spectrograph, currently under construction, expected to begin survey observations on the 2.5 m Sloan telescope in the Spring of 2011. APOGEE will measure high-precision radial velocities and elemental abundances for ~15 elements for ~ 105 stars, and is expected to shed new light on the processes that led to the formation of the Galaxy.
