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 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 -- 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…

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…

Carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars in the SDSS-APOGEE database

Collin L. Kielty, Kim A. Venn, Nicholas B. Loewen +5

We identify six new CEMP stars ([C/Fe]>+0.7 and [Fe/H]< -1.8) and another seven likely candidates within the APOGEE database following Data Release 12. These stars have chemical co…

The Peculiar Globular Cluster Palomar 1 and Persistence in the SDSS-APOGEE Database

Farbod Jahandar, Kim A. Venn, Matthew D. Shetrone +6

The SDSS-III APOGEE DR12 is a unique resource to search for stars beyond the tidal radii of star clusters. We have examined the APOGEE DR12 database for new candidates of the young…
