CAPOS: The bulge Cluster APOgee Survey I. Overview and initial ASPCAP results

Doug Geisler, Sandro Villanova, Julia E. O'Connell +39

Context. Bulge globular clusters (BGCs) are exceptional tracers of the formation and chemodynamical evolution of this oldest Galactic component. However, until now, observational d…

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 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 Dwarf-Galaxy survey - II. In-depth observational study of the faint Milky Way satellite Sagittarius II

Nicolas Longeard, Nicolas Martin, Else Starkenburg +11

We present an extensive study of the Sagittarius II (Sgr II) stellar system using MegaCam g and i photometry, narrow-band, metallicity-sensitive Calcium H&K doublet photometry, aug…

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…
