The R-Process Alliance: Spectroscopic Follow-up of Low-Metallicity Star Candidates from the Best & Brightest Survey
Vinicius M. Placco, Rafael M. Santucci, Timothy C. Beers +17
We present results from an observing campaign to identify low-metallicity stars in the Best & Brightest Survey. From medium-resolution (R ~ 1, 200 - 2, 000) spectroscopy of 857 can…

Spectroscopic Validation of Low-Metallicity Stars from RAVE
Vinicius M. Placco, Timothy C. Beers, Rafael M. Santucci +16
We present results from a medium-resolution (R ~ 2, 000) spectroscopic follow-up campaign of 1,694 bright (V < 13.5), very metal-poor star candidates from the RAdial Velocity Exper…

A Distant Sample of Halo Wide Binaries from SDSS
Johanna Coronado, María Paz Sepúlveda, Andrew Gould +1
Samples of reliably identified halo wide binaries are scarce. If reasonably free from selection effects and with a small degree of contamination by chance alignments, these wide bi…
