An Unsupervised Machine Learning Approach to Identify Spectral Energy Distribution Outliers: Application to the S-PLUS DR4 data

F. Quispe-Huaynasi, F. Roig, N. Holanda +12

Identification of specific stellar populations using photometry for spectroscopic follow-up is a first step to confirm and better understand their nature. In this context, we prese…

The elderly among the oldest: new evidence for extremely metal-poor RR Lyrae stars

Valentina D'Orazi, Vittorio F. Braga, Giuseppe Bono +21

We performed a detailed spectroscopic analysis of three extremely metal-poor RR Lyrae stars, exploring uncharted territories at these low metallicities for this class of stars. Usi…

The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) VII: a discovery of the first inner Galaxy CEMP-r/s star

L. Mashonkina, A. Arentsen, D. S. Aguado +7

Well-studied very metal-poor (VMP, [Fe/H] < -2 ) stars in the inner Galaxy are few in number, and they are of special interest because they are expected to be among the oldest star…

First detection of a magnetic field in low-luminosity B[e] stars: New scenarios for the nature and evolutionary stages of FS CMa stars

D. Korcakova, F. Sestito, N. Manset +8

We report the first detection of the magnetic field in a star of FS CMa type, a subgroup of objects characterized by the B[e] phenomenon. The split of magnetically sensitive lines…

The Pristine survey XIV: chemical analysis of two ultra-metal-poor stars

C. Lardo, L. Mashonkina, P. Jablonka +15

Elemental abundances of the most metal-poor stars reflect the conditions in the early Galaxy and the properties of the first stars. We present a spectroscopic follow-up of two ultr…

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 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…
