• TRACING CHEMICAL EVOLUTION OVER THE EXTENT OF THE MILKY WAY'S DISK WITH APOGEE RED CLUMP STARS (2014, methodology): “Indeed, for the stellar parameters typical of RC stars, the differences between the best-fit APOGEE spectra and those obtained with spherical MARCS models (Gustafsson et al. 2008) and Turbospectrum (e.g., Plez 2012) are below 5%.”
• APOGEE Data Releases 13 and 14: Data and Analysis (2018, methodology): “Spectral synthesis For DR13/DR14, we adopted the publicly available Turbospectrum code (Plez 2012), rather than the ASS T (Koesterke 2009) synthesis code that was used for DR12 and previous versions.”
• PLATO as it is: a legacy mission for Galactic archaeology (2017, unknown): “We simulate one of these fields, STEP08, centered at ( l , b ) = ( 315 deg , + 30 deg ) (see Figure 2), using the TRILEGAL tool (Girardi et al. 2005, 2012).”
• THE APOGEE RED-CLUMP CATALOG: PRECISE DISTANCES, VELOCITIES, AND HIGH-RESOLUTION ELEMENTAL ABUNDANCES OVER A LARGE AREA OF THE MILKY WAY'S DISK (2014, background): “We find that the differences with spherical MARCS (Gustafsson et al. 2008) / Turbospectrum (Alvarez & Plez 1998; Plez 2012) spectra are below 5% for the atmospheric parameters typical of RC stars.”
• Gaia FGK benchmark stars: Metallicity (2013, methodology): “Synthetic spectra are computed using the radiative transfer code TURBOSPECTRUM (Alvarez & Plez 1998; Plez 2012).”
• The Seventeenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Complete Release of MaNGA, MaStar and APOGEE-2 Data (2021, methodology): “…a differ-ent spectral synthesis code from that used in the last several APOGEE data releases: for DR17, the Synspec code (e.g., Hubeny & Lanz 2017; Hubeny et al. 2021) was adopted for the primary analysis instead of the Tur-bospectrum code (Alvarez & Plez 1998; Plez 2012) used in previous releases.”
