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…
Chemical characterisation of small substructures in the local stellar halo
Emma Dodd, Tadafumi Matsuno, Amina Helmi +5
The local stellar halo of the Milky Way is known to contain the debris from accreted dwarf galaxies and globular clusters, in the form of stellar streams and over-densities in the…
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: 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…
Predicting metallicities and carbon abundances from Gaia XP spectra for (carbon-enhanced) metal-poor stars
Anke Ardern-Arentsen, Sarah G. Kane, Vasily Belokurov +4
Carbon-rich (C-rich) stars can be found at all metallicities and evolutionary stages. They are often the result of mass-transfer from a companion, but some of the most metal-poor C…
HR-GO I: Comprehensive NLTE abundance analysis of the Cetus stream
T. M. Sitnova, Z. Yuan, T. Matsuno +8
Dwarf galaxy streams encode vast amounts of information essential to understanding early galaxy formation and nucleosynthesis channels. Due to the variation in the timescales of st…
