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…
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…
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
I. Carrillo, I. Minchev, M. Steinmetz +10
We use Gaia DR2 astrometric and line-of-sight velocity information combined with two sets of distances obtained with a Bayesian inference method to study the 3D velocity distributi…
