The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). II. A Catalog of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Cote, Lauren A. MacArthur +51
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) is a deep, high resolution imaging campaign that used the 1 deg MegaCam instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to carr…
The Mass and Age Distribution of Halo White Dwarfs in the Canada-France Imaging Survey
Nicholas J. Fantin, Patrick Côté, Alan W. McConnachie +6
We present optical spectroscopy for 18 halo white dwarfs identified using photometry from the Canada-France Imaging Survey and Pan-STARRS1 DR1 3 survey combined with astrometry…
White Dwarfs in the Era of the LSST and its Synergies with Space-Based Missions
Nicholas J. Fantin, Patrick Côté, Alan McConnachie
With the imminent start of the Legacy Survey for Space and Time (LSST) on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, and several new space telescopes expected to begin operations later in this…
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…
The Pristine Survey -- VI. The first three years of medium-resolution follow-up spectroscopy of Pristine EMP star candidates
David S. Aguado, Kris Youakim, Jonay I. González Hernández +27
We present the results of a 3-year long, medium-resolution spectroscopic campaign aimed at identifying very metal-poor stars from candidates selected with the CaHK, metallicity-sen…
A-type stars in the Canada-France Imaging Survey I. The stellar halo of the Milky Way traced to large radius by blue horizontal branch stars
Guillaume F. Thomas, Alan W. McConnachie, Rodrigo A. Ibata +14
We present the stellar density profile of the outer halo of the Galaxy traced over a range of Galactocentric radii from kpc by blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars…
Chemical Mapping of the Milky Way With The Canada-France Imaging Survey: A Non-parametric Metallicity-Distance Decomposition of the Galaxy
Rodrigo Ibata, Alan McConnachie, Jean-Charles Cuillandre +41
We present the chemical distribution of the Milky Way, based on 2,900 of -band photometry taken as part of the Canada-France Imaging Survey. When complete, this…
The Canada-France Imaging Survey: First results from the u-band component
Rodrigo Ibata, Alan McConnachie, Jean-Charles Cuillandre +41
The Canada-France Imaging Survey (CFIS) will map the northern high Galactic latitude sky in the -band ("CFIS-u", 10,000) and in the -band ("CFIS-r", 5,000$\,…
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. XXVIII. Characterization of the Galactic White Dwarf Population
Nicholas J. Fantin, Patrick Côté, David A. Hanes +6
We use three different techniques to identify hundreds of white dwarf (WD) candidates in the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) based on photometry from the NGVS and GUViC…
