The Pristine survey XIII: Uncovering the very metal-poor tail of the thin disc
Emma Fernández-Alvar, Georges Kordopatis, Vanessa Hill +9
We evaluate the rotational velocity of stars observed by the Pristine survey towards the Galactic anticentre, spanning a wide range of metallicities from the extremely metal-poor r…
The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) III: carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars in the bulge
Anke Arentsen, Else Starkenburg, David S. Aguado +15
The most metal-deficient stars hold important clues about the early build-up and chemical evolution of the Milky Way, and carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars are of special int…
The Pristine survey -- XII: Gemini-GRACES chemo-dynamical study of newly discovered extremely metal-poor stars in the Galaxy
Collin L. Kielty, Kim A. Venn, Federico Sestito +16
High-resolution optical spectra of 30 metal-poor stars selected from the \Pristine\ survey are presented, based on observations taken with the Gemini Observatory GRACES spectrograp…
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 Dwarf-Galaxy survey -- III. Revealing the nature of the Milky Way globular cluster Sagittarius II
Nicolas Longeard, Nicolas Martin, Rodrigo Ibata +13
We present a new spectroscopic study of the faint Milky Way satellite Sagittarius II. Using multi-object spectroscopy from the Fibre Large Array Multi Element Spectrograph, we supp…
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…
Tracing the formation of the Milky Way through ultra metal-poor stars
Federico Sestito, Nicolas Longeard, Nicolas F. Martin +11
We use Gaia DR2 astrometric and photometric data, published radial velocities and MESA models to infer distances, orbits, surface gravities, and effective temperatures for all ultr…
Pristine Dwarf-Galaxy Survey I: A detailed photometric and spectroscopic study of the very metal-poor Draco II satellite
Nicolas Longeard, Nicolas Martin, Else Starkenburg +17
We present a detailed study of the faint Milky Way satellite Draco II (Dra II) from deep CFHT/MegaCam broadband and photometry and narrow-band metallicity-sensitive CaHK ob…
The first super-Earth Detection from the High Cadence and High Radial Velocity Precision Dharma Planet Survey
Bo Ma, Jian Ge, Matthew Muterspaugh +23
The Dharma Planet Survey (DPS) aims to monitor about 150 nearby very bright FGKM dwarfs (within 50 pc) during 20162020 for low-mass planet detection and characterization using t…
The Pristine Survey IV: Approaching the Galactic metallicity floor with the discovery of an ultra metal-poor star
Else Starkenburg, David S. Aguado, Piercarlo Bonifacio +22
The early Universe presented a star formation environment that was almost devoid of heavy elements. The lowest metallicity stars thus provide a unique window into the earliest Gala…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. First visual-channel radial-velocity measurements and orbital parameter updates of seven M-dwarf planetary systems
T. Trifonov, M. Kürster, M. Zechmeister +166
Context: The main goal of the CARMENES survey is to find Earth-mass planets around nearby M-dwarf stars. Seven M-dwarfs included in the CARMENES sample had been observed before wit…
The Eleventh and Twelfth Data Releases of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Final Data from SDSS-III
Shadab Alam, Franco D. Albareti, Carlos Allende Prieto +271
The third generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-III) took data from 2008 to 2014 using the original SDSS wide-field imager, the original and an upgraded multi-object fib…
Very Low Mass Stellar and Substellar Companions to Solar-like Stars From MARVELS IV: A Candidate Brown Dwarf or Low-Mass Stellar Companion to HIP 67526
Peng Jiang, Jian Ge, Phillip Cargile +50
We report the discovery of a candidate brown dwarf or a very low mass stellar companion (MARVELS-5b) to the star HIP 67526 from the Multi-object APO Radial Velocity Exoplanet Large…
The Tenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
Christopher P. Ahn, Rachael Alexandroff, Carlos Allende Prieto +232
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has been in operation since 2000 April. This paper presents the tenth public data release (DR10) from its current incarnation, SDSS-III. This da…
The Eighth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Data from SDSS-III
III collaboration, Hiroaki Aihara, Carlos Allende Prieto +178
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) started a new phase in August 2008, with new instrumentation and new surveys focused on Galactic structure and chemical evolution, measurements…
