The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) VIII: Characterising the orbital properties of the ancient, very metal-poor inner Milky Way

Anke Ardern-Arentsen, Giacomo Monari, Anna B. A. Queiroz +19

The oldest stars in the Milky Way (born in the first few billion years) are expected to have a high density in the inner few kpc, spatially overlapping with the Galactic bulge. We…

Probing the early Milky Way with GHOST spectra of an extremely metal-poor star in the Galactic disk

Anya Dovgal, Kim A. Venn, Federico Sestito +31

Pristine_183.6849+04.8619 (P1836849) is an extremely metal-poor ([Fe/H]) star on a prograde orbit confined to the Galactic disk. Such stars are rare and may have their…

Could very low-metallicity stars with rotation-dominated orbits have been shepherded by the bar?

Zhen Yuan, Chengdong Li, Nicolas F. Martin +11

The most metal-poor stars (e.g. [Fe/H] ) are the ancient fossils from the early assembly epoch of our Galaxy, very likely before the formation of the thick disc. Recent s…

Gaia's brightest very metal-poor (VMP) stars. Metallicity catalogue of a thousand VMP stars from Gaia's radial velocity spectrometer spectra

Akshara Viswanathan, Else Starkenburg, Tadafumi Matsuno +10

Context. Gaia DR3 has offered the scientific community a remarkable dataset of approximately one million spectra acquired with the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) in the Calcium…
