The Pristine survey. XXVI. Chemical abundances of subgiant stars of the extremelymetal-poor stream C-19

P. Bonifacio, E. Caffau, P. François +17

Context: The C-19 stellar stream is the most metal-poor stream known to date. While its width and velocity dispersion indicate a dwarf galaxy origin, its metallicity spread and abu…

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…

The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) X. Probing the early chemical evolution of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy with carbon abundances

Federico Sestito, Anke Ardern-Arentsen, Sara Vitali +6

We aim to constrain the chemo-dynamical properties of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy using carbon abundances. Our sample from the \textit{Pristine} Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) i…

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…
