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…

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…
