The Pristine survey III: Spectroscopic confirmation of an efficient search for extremely metal-poor stars
K. Youakim, E. Starkenburg, D. S. Aguado +13
The Pristine survey is a narrow-band, photometric survey focused around the wavelength region of the Ca II H & K absorption lines, designed to efficiently search for extremely meta…
The Pristine survey II: a sample of bright stars observed with FEROS
E. Caffau, P. Bonifacio, E. Starkenburg +8
Extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars are old objects formed in the first Gyr of the Universe. They are rare and, to select them, the most successful strategy has been to build on large…
An artificial neural network to discover Hypervelocity stars: Candidates in Gaia DR1/TGAS
T. Marchetti, E. M. Rossi, G. Kordopatis +5
The paucity of hypervelocity stars (HVSs) known to date has severely hampered their potential to investigate the stellar population of the Galactic Centre and the Galactic Potentia…
The Pristine survey I: Mining the Galaxy for the most metal-poor stars
Else Starkenburg, Nicolas Martin, Kris Youakim +22
We present the Pristine survey, a new narrow-band photometric survey focused on the metallicity-sensitive Ca H & K lines and conducted in the northern hemisphere with the wide-fiel…
