The Canada-France Imaging Survey: Reconstructing the Milky Way Star Formation History from its White Dwarf Population

Nicholas J. Fantin, Patrick Côté, Alan W. McConnachie +15

As the remnants of stars with initial masses 8 M, white dwarfs contain valuable information on the formation histories of stellar populations. In this paper, w…

Dwarfs or giants? Stellar metallicities and distances in the Canada-France-Imaging-Survey from multi-band photometry

Guillaume F. Thomas, Nicholaas Annau, Alan McConnachie +19

We present a new fully data-driven algorithm that uses photometric data from the Canada-France-Imaging-Survey (CFIS; ), Pan-STARRS 1 (PS1; ), and Gaia () to discriminat…
