Searching for and characterizing halo substructures with the GALAH DR4 survey
Iryna Kushniruk, Kristopher Youakim, Karin Lind +12
Recent studies show that the Milky Way stellar halo is composed of populations of different origins, shaped by multiple accretion events. To better understand the formation of the…
Identifying substructure associations in the Milky Way halo using chemo-kinematic tagging
Kris Youakim, Karin Lind
The Milky Way halo has been built-up over cosmic time through the accretion and dissolution of star clusters and dwarf galaxies as well as through their complex interactions with t…
The Pristine survey: XXV. The very metal-poor Galaxy: Chemodynamics through the follow-up of the Pristine-Gaia synthetic catalogue
Akshara Viswanathan, Zhen Yuan, Anke Ardern-Arentsen +27
The Pristine-\textit{Gaia} synthetic catalogue provides reliable photometric metallicities for 30 million FGK stars using the Pristine survey model and Gaia XP spectra. We pe…
The Pristine survey -- XXIII. Data Release 1 and an all-sky metallicity catalogue based on Gaia DR3 BP/RP spectro-photometry
Nicolas F. Martin, Else Starkenburg, Zhen Yuan +38
We used the spectro-photometric information of ~219 million stars from Gaia's DR3 to calculate synthetic, narrow-band, metallicity-sensitive CaHK magnitudes that mimic the observat…
Tidal debris from Omega Centauri discovered with unsupervised machine learning
Kris Youakim, Karin Lind, Iryna Kushniruk
The gravitational interactions between the Milky Way and in-falling satellites offer a wealth of information about the formation and evolution of our Galaxy. In this paper, we expl…
Beyond Gaia DR3: Tracing the [/M]-[M/H] bimodality from the inner to the outer Milky Way disc with Gaia-RVS and convolutional neural networks
G. Guiglion, S. Nepal, C. Chiappini +17
In June 2022, Gaia DR3 has provided the astronomy community with about one million spectra from the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) covering the CaII triplet region. However, on…
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…
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…
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…
Kinematics with Gaia DR2: The Force of a Dwarf
