Characterizing the disruption of Böotes III: a missing link in the Galactic halo?
Jaclyn Jensen, Daniel A. Boyea, Alan W. McConnachie +14
The authors investigate whether the Boötes III dwarf galaxy is the source of the Styx stellar stream by searching for tidal debris with Gaia data, new CaHK imaging, and matched‑fil…
Milky Way's Metal-Poor Stars display Chemical Transition near the Solar Radius
Khyati Malhan
The metal-poor stars of a galaxy offer insights into that galaxy's early formation processes and accretion history. Here, we investigate whether the metal-poor stars of our Milky W…
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: 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 Dwarf-Galaxy survey -- VI. A VLT/FLAMES spectroscopic study of the dwarf galaxy Boötes II
Nicolas Longeard, Pascale Jablonka, Giuseppina Battaglia +4
The Milky Way has a large population of dwarf galaxy satellites. Their properties are sensitive to both cosmology and the physical processes underlying galaxy formation, but these…
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…
