The Photometric Metallicity and Carbon Distributions of the Milky Way's Halo and Solar Neighborhood from S-PLUS Observations of SDSS Stripe 82

Devin D. Whitten, Vinicius M. Placco, Timothy C. Beers +14

We report photometric estimates of effective temperature, , metallicity, [Fe/H], carbonicity, [C/Fe], and absolute carbon abundances, , for over 700,000 st…

The Pristine survey -- XII: Gemini-GRACES chemo-dynamical study of newly discovered extremely metal-poor stars in the Galaxy

Collin L. Kielty, Kim A. Venn, Federico Sestito +16

High-resolution optical spectra of 30 metal-poor stars selected from the \Pristine\ survey are presented, based on observations taken with the Gemini Observatory GRACES spectrograp…

The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) II: Uncovering the most metal-poor populations in the inner Milky Way

Anke Arentsen, Else Starkenburg, Nicolas F. Martin +19

Metal-poor stars are important tools for tracing the early history of the Milky Way, and for learning about the first generations of stars. Simulations suggest that the oldest meta…

The Pristine survey VIII: The metallicity distribution function of the Milky Way halo down to the extremely metal-poor regime

K. Youakim, E. Starkenburg, N. F. Martin +15

The Pristine survey uses narrow-band photometry to derive precise metallicities down to the extremely metal-poor regime ([Fe/H] < -3), and currently consists of over 4 million FGK-…

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 Pristine survey -- VII. A cleaner view of the Galactic outer halo using blue horizontal branch stars

Else Starkenburg, Kris Youakim, Nicolas Martin +11

We use the Pristine survey CaHK narrow-band photometry, combined with the SDSS ugr photometry, to provide a cleaner sample of blue horizontal branch stars in the Galactic halo out…
