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…
A Pristine-UNIONS view on the Galaxy: Kinematics of the distant spur feature of the Sagittarius stream traced by Blue Horizontal Branch stars
M. Bayer, E. Starkenburg, G. F. Thomas +14
Providing a detailed picture of the Sagittarius (Sgr) stream offers important constraints on the build-up of the Galactic halo as well as its gravitational potential at large radii…
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 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…
The Gaia RVS benchmark stars II. A sample of stars selected for their Gaia high radial velocity
E. Caffau, D. Katz, A. Gómez +16
The Gaia satellite has already provided the astronomical community with three data releases, and the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) on board Gaia has provided the radial veloci…
