The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) II: Uncovering the most metal-poor populations in the inner Milky Way
Anke Arentsen, Else Starkenburg, Nicolas F. Martin +19
Metal-poor stars are important tools for tracing the early history of the Milky Way, and for learning about the first generations of stars. Simulations suggest that the oldest meta…
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 X-Shooter Spectral Library (XSL): Data Release 2
Anaïs Gonneau, M. Lyubenova, A. Lançon +11
We present the second data release (DR2) of the X-Shooter Spectral Library (XSL), which contains all the spectra obtained over the six semesters of that program. This release super…
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…
