HRMOS: A High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph for the VLT
Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Sofia Randich +174
This White Paper presents the scientific rationale and instrument concept for HRMOS (High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph), a next-generation instrument proposed for the ESO V…
An ancient system hidden in the Galactic plane?
Federico Sestito, Emma Fernandez-Alvar, Rebecca Brooks +19
We analyse high signal-to-noise ESPaDOnS/CFHT spectra of 20 very metal-poor stars (VMP; [Fe/H]~) in the solar neighbourhood (within kpc), selected to be on planar or…
The Pristine Survey -- XXVII. Journey to the Galactic outskirts -- Mapping the outer halo red giant stars down to the very metal-poor end
Akshara Viswanathan, Amanda Byström, Else Starkenburg +14
Context: In the context of Galactic archaeology, the outer halo remains relatively unexplored with respect to its metallicity distribution, merger debris, and the abundance of know…
ACACIAS I: Element abundance labels for 192 stars in the dwarf galaxy NGC 6822
Melissa K. Ness, J. Trevor Mendel, Sven Buder +8
The element abundances of local group galaxies connect enrichment mechanisms to galactic properties and serve to contextualise the Milky Way's abundance distributions. Individual s…
The Pristine survey XXIV: The Galactic underdogs -- Dynamic tales of a Milky Way metal-poor population
Isaure González Rivera de La Vernhe, Vanessa Hill, Georges Kordopatis +12
Through the chemodynamical characterisation of metal-poor stars, one can efficiently probe the early history of the Milky Way. We aim at decontaminating a sample of 3M giant…
The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) IX. The largest detailed chemical analysis of very metal-poor stars in the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
Federico Sestito, Sara Vitali, Paula Jofre +16
The most metal-poor stars provide valuable insights into the early chemical enrichment history of a system, carrying the chemical imprints of the first generations of supernovae. T…
