The Pristine survey XXIX. Data Release 2: Photometric metallicities for 15 millions stars down to

Zhen Yuan, Anke Ardern-Arentsen, Nicolas F. Martin +15

Tailored narrow-band photometric observations are an efficient way to measure the metallicity of Milky Way stars. The Pristine survey has been mapping the northern sky since 2015 u…

A Tale of Two Origins: In-Situ versus Accreted Nitrogen-Rich Field Stars in the MW

Yi Qiao, Baitian Tang, José G. Fernández-Trincado +14

Spectroscopic surveys have identified significant numbers of metal-poor nitrogen-rich (N-rich) field stars. These stars are strong candidates for escapees from globular clusters (G…

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 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…

C-19 and Hot, Wide, Star Streams

Raymond G. Carlberg, Rodrigo Ibata, Nicolas F. Martin +4

The C-19 star stream has the abundance characteristics of an unusually metal poor globular cluster but kinematically is uncharacteristically hot and wide for a cluster stream, havi…

The Pristine survey: XXV. The very metal-poor Galaxy: Chemodynamics through the follow-up of the Pristine-Gaia synthetic catalogue

Akshara Viswanathan, Zhen Yuan, Anke Ardern-Arentsen +27

The Pristine-\textit{Gaia} synthetic catalogue provides reliable photometric metallicities for 30 million FGK stars using the Pristine survey model and Gaia XP spectra. We pe…

The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) VIII: Characterising the orbital properties of the ancient, very metal-poor inner Milky Way

Anke Ardern-Arentsen, Giacomo Monari, Anna B. A. Queiroz +19

The oldest stars in the Milky Way (born in the first few billion years) are expected to have a high density in the inner few kpc, spatially overlapping with the Galactic bulge. We…

Charting the Galactic acceleration field II. A global mass model of the Milky Way from the STREAMFINDER Atlas of Stellar Streams detected in Gaia DR3

Rodrigo Ibata, Khyati Malhan, Wassim Tenachi +17

We present an atlas and follow-up spectroscopic observations of 87 thin stream-like structures detected with the STREAMFINDER algorithm in Gaia DR3, of which 29 are new discoveries…

Could very low-metallicity stars with rotation-dominated orbits have been shepherded by the bar?

Zhen Yuan, Chengdong Li, Nicolas F. Martin +11

The most metal-poor stars (e.g. [Fe/H] ) are the ancient fossils from the early assembly epoch of our Galaxy, very likely before the formation of the thick disc. Recent s…

Exploring the impact of a rapidly decelerating bar on transforming bulge orbits into disc-like orbits

Chengdong Li, Zhen Yuan, Giacomo Monari +7

The most metal-poor tail of the Milky Way ([Fe/H] 2.5) contains a population of stars with very prograde planar orbits, which is puzzling in both their origin and evoluti…

Gaia's brightest very metal-poor (VMP) stars. Metallicity catalogue of a thousand VMP stars from Gaia's radial velocity spectrometer spectra

Akshara Viswanathan, Else Starkenburg, Tadafumi Matsuno +10

Context. Gaia DR3 has offered the scientific community a remarkable dataset of approximately one million spectra acquired with the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) in the Calcium…
