The Pristine survey XXIX. Data Release 2: Photometric metallicities for 15 millions stars down to
Zhen Yuan, Anke Ardern-Arentsen, Nicolas F. Martin +15
Tailored narrow-band photometric observations are an efficient way to measure the metallicity of Milky Way stars. The Pristine survey has been mapping the northern sky since 2015 u…
Abundances of CNO in candidate young metal-poor stars
Piercarlo Bonifacio, Elisabetta Caffau, Luca Sbordone +6
In this contribution we investigate the CNO abundances in five apparently young evolved stars, with the aim of discriminating between truly young stars and stars that were rejuvena…
The Gaia RVS Benchmark Stars. III . Confirmed and New High Radial Velocity Stars From Gaia DR3
Elisabetta Caffau, David Katz, Piercarlo Bonifacio +12
High-velocity stars are interesting targets to unveil the formation of the Milky Way. In fact they can be recently accreted from an infalling dwarf galaxies or they can be the resu…
The most metal poor stars
P. Bonifacio, E. Caffau, P. François +1
The most metal-poor stars found in the Galaxy and in nearby galaxies are witnesses of the early evolution of the Universe. In a general picture in which we expect the metallicity t…
Young stars discovered in dwarf spheroidal galaxies confirm their recent infall into the Milky way
Francois Hammer, Piercarlo Bonifacio, Elisabetta Caffau +10
Recent observations from the ESA Gaia satellite and with the ESO VLT, have identified the presence of a population of young, 0.5 to 2 Gyr old, stars in the halo and in dwarf sphero…
The accretion history of the Milky Way IV. Hints of recent star formation in Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies
Yanbin Yang, Elisabetta Caffau, Piercarlo Bonifacio +3
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are known to be dominated by old stellar populations. This has led to the assumption that their gas-rich progenitors lost their gas during their infall in…
The accretion history of the Milky Way. II. Internal kinematics of globular clusters and of dwarf galaxies
Francois Hammer, Jianling Wang, Gary A. Mamon +7
We study how structural properties of globular clusters and dwarf galaxies are linked to their orbits in the Milky Way halo. From the inner to the outer halo, orbital energy increa…
Tracing differential reddening with Diffuse Interstellar Bands. The globular cluster M 4 as a testbed
A. Monreal-Ibero, R. Lallement, L. Puspitarini +2
Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are weak absorption features of interstellar origin present in the optical and infrared spectra of stars. Their use as a tool to trace the structu…
SPADES: a Stellar PArameters DEtermination Software
Helene Posbic, David Katz, Elisabetta Caffau +4
With the large amounts of spectroscopic data available today and the very large surveys to come (e.g. Gaia), the need for automatic data analysis software is unquestionable. We thu…
