A slow spin to win -- the gradual evolution of the proto-Galaxy to the old disc

Akshara Viswanathan, Danny Horta, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +1

Observational studies are identifying stars thought to be remnants from the earliest stages of the hierarchical mass assembly of the Milky Way, referred to as the proto-Galaxy. We…

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…

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…

The Pristine survey: XXV. The very metal-poor Galaxy: Chemodynamics through the follow-up of the Pristine-Gaia synthetic catalogue

Akshara Viswanathan, Zhen Yuan, Anke Ardern-Arentsen +27

The Pristine-\textit{Gaia} synthetic catalogue provides reliable photometric metallicities for 30 million FGK stars using the Pristine survey model and Gaia XP spectra. We pe…

On the metal-poor edge of the Milky Way "thin disc"

Emma Fernández-Alvar, Georges Kordopatis, Vanessa Hill +9

The emergence of the disc in our Galaxy and the relation of the thick and thin disc formation and evolution is still a matter of debate. The chemo-dynamical characterization of dis…
