SDSS J102915.14+172927.9: Revisiting the chemical pattern
E. Caffau, P. Bonifacio, L. Monaco +7
Context: The small- to intermediate-mass (), most metal-poor stars that formed in the infancy of the Universe are still shining today in the sky. They are very rare…
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…
TOPoS: III. An ultra iron-poor multiple CEMP system
E. Caffau, P. Bonifacio, M. Spite +15
One of the primary objectives of the TOPoS survey is to search for the most metal-poor stars. Our search has led to the discovery of one of the most iron-poor objects known, SDSS\,…
X-Shooter GTO: evidence for a population of extremely metal-poor, alpha-poor stars
E. Caffau, P. Bonifacio, P. Francois +12
The extremely metal-poor stars are the direct descendants of the first generation stars. They carry the chemical signature of the pristine Universe at the time they formed, shortly…
Carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars: the most pristine objects?
Monique Spite, E. Caffau, Piercarlo Bonifacio +4
Carbon-enhanced metal poor stars (CEMP) form a significant proportion of the metal-poor stars, their origin is not well understood. Three very metal-poor C-rich turnoff stars were…
