Chemo-dynamics of the stellar component of the Sculptor dwarf galaxy I: observed properties
José María Arroyo-Polonio, Giuseppina Battaglia, Guillaume F. Thomas +3
Aims. Recently, both the presence of multiple stellar chemo-kinematic components and rotation in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy have been put into question. Therefore, we re-…
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…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
Detailed chemical composition of the globular cluster Sextans A GC-1 on the outskirts of the Local Group
Anastasia Gvozdenko, Søren S. Larsen, Michael A. Beasley +4
The chemical composition of globular clusters (GCs) across the Local Group provides information on chemical abundance trends. The host galaxy, Sextans A, is a low-surface-brightnes…
Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia Colour-Magnitude Diagram-fitting (ChronoGal). I. The formation and evolution of the thin disk from the Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars
C. Gallart, F. Surot, S. Cassisi +15
The current major challenge to reconstruct the chronology of the Milky Way (MW) is the difficulty to derive precise stellar ages. CMD-fitting offers an alternative to individual ag…
