Phylogenetic trees offer a hierarchical representation of chemical similarities among stars, from which their evolutionary histories can, in principle, be reconstructed. Simulation…
Gaia FGK Benchmark Stars: Impact of Spectral Resolution on Stellar Abundances
Ivanna Hernández-Araya, Claudia Aguilera-Gómez, Paula Jofré +5
In the era of large Milky Way spectroscopic surveys, calibrating and standardizing stellar parameters and abundance measurements is crucial. The Gaia benchmark stars (GBS) are key…
The primordial nature of the C-19 stellar stream
Kim A. Venn, Zhen Yuan, Nicolas F. Martin +32
Stellar streams, remnants of compact star systems stretched out by the tidal forces of the Milky Way, offer a unique way to study stellar populations that formed billions of years…
The metal-poor tail of the APOGEE survey II. Spectral analysis of Mg and Si in very metal-poor APOGEE spectra
M. Montelius, A. Angrilli Muglia, E. Starkenburg +9
H-band spectra contain very limited spectral information for stars at the most metal-poor tail ( Fe/H < -2.5) because the available Fe lines in FGK stars in this wavelength range a…
Towards model-free stellar chemical abundances. Potential applications in the search for chemically peculiar stars in large spectroscopic surveys
Theosamuele Signor, Paula Jofré, Hernan Lira +3
Chemical abundance determinations from stellar spectra are challenged by observational noise, limitations in stellar models, and departures from simplifying assumptions. While trad…
The Pristine survey: XXVII. The extremely metal-poor stream C-19 stretches over more than 100 degrees
Zhen Yuan, Tadafumi Matsuno, Tatyana Sitnova +14
The discovery of the most metal-poor stream, C-19, provides us with a fossil record of a stellar structure born very soon after the Big Bang. In this work, we search for new C-19 m…
The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) XI: Revealing the chemical evolution of the interacting Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
Sara Vitali, Alvaro Rojas-Arriagada, Paula Jofré +9
The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph) is a satellite orbiting the Milky Way that has experienced multiple stripping events due to tidal interactions with our Galaxy. I…
Icarus revisited: An Ancient, Metal-poor Accreted Stellar Stream in the Disk of the Milky Way
Paola Re Fiorentin, Alessandro Spagna, Mario G. Lattanzi +2
The search for accreted satellites in the Galactic disk is a challenging task, to which Gaia plays a crucial role in synergy with ground-based spectroscopic surveys. In 2021, Re Fi…
Full abundance study of two newly discovered barium giants
Sara Vitali, Ana Escorza, Ditte Slumstrup +1
Barium (Ba) stars are chemically peculiar stars that show enhanced surface abundances of heavy elements produced by the slow-neutron-capture process, the so-called s-process. These…
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 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…
