The Pristine survey X: a large population of low-metallicity stars permeates the Galactic disk
Federico Sestito, Nicolas F. Martin, Else Starkenburg +26
The orbits of the least chemically enriched stars open a window on the formation of our Galaxy when it was still in its infancy. The common picture is that these low-metallicity st…
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…
Phase-space correlation in stellar streams of the Milky Way halo: The clash of Kshir and GD-1
Khyati Malhan, Rodrigo A. Ibata, Raymond G. Carlberg +3
We report the discovery of a 70-degree long stellar stream in the Milky Way halo, which criss-crosses the well known "GD-1" stream. We show that this new stellar structure ("Kshir"…
Pristine IX: CFHT ESPaDOnS Spectroscopic Analysis of 115 Bright Metal-Poor Candidate Stars
Kim Venn, Collin Kielty, Federico Sestito +18
A chemo-dynamical analysis of 115 metal-poor candidate stars selected from the narrow-band Pristine photometric survey is presented based on CFHT high-resolution ESPaDoNS spectrosc…
The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) I: Tracing the kinematics of metal-poor stars in the Galactic bulge
Anke Arentsen, Else Starkenburg, Nicolas F. Martin +20
Our Galaxy is known to contain a central boxy/peanut-shaped bulge, yet the importance of a classical, pressure-supported component within the central part of the Milky Way is still…
Young stars raining through the Galactic Halo: the nature and orbit of Price-Whelan 1
M. Bellazzini, R. A. Ibata, N. Martin +3
We present radial velocities for five member stars of the recently discovered young (age= 100-150 Myr) stellar system Price-Whelan 1 (PW 1), that is located far away in the Galacti…
