The lowest detected stellar Fe abundance: The halo star SMSS J160540.18-144323.1

T. Nordlander, M. S. Bessell, G. S. Da Costa +12

We report the discovery of SMSS J160540.18-144323.1, a new ultra-metal poor halo star discovered with the SkyMapper telescope. We measure [Fe/H] = -6.2 +- 0.2 (1D LTE), the lowest…

Keck HIRES Spectroscopy of SkyMapper Commissioning Survey Candidate Extremely Metal-Poor Stars

A. F. Marino, G. S. Da Costa, A. R. Casey +11

We present results from the analysis of high-resolution spectra obtained with the Keck HIRES spectrograph for a sample of 17 candidate extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars originally s…

Abundances of disk and bulge giants from hi-res optical spectra: I. O, Mg, Ca, and Ti in the Solar neighborhood and Kepler field samples

H. Jönsson, N. Ryde, T. Nordlander +4

The galactic bulge is a significant part of our galaxy, but it is hard to observe, being both distant and covered by dust in the disk. Therefore there do not exist many hi-res opti…

How much can we trust high-resolution spectroscopic stellar chemical abundances?

S. Blanco-Cuaresma, T. Nordlander, U. Heiter +8

To study stellar populations, it is common to combine chemical abundances from different spectroscopic surveys/studies where different setups were used. These inhomogeneities can l…

A test field for Gaia. Radial velocity catalogue of stars in the South Ecliptic Pole

Y. Frémat, M. Altmann, E. Pancino +25

Gaia is a space mission currently measuring the five astrometric parameters as well as spectrophotometry of at least 1 billion stars to G = 20.7 mag with unprecedented precision. T…

Gaia Data Release 1. Summary of the astrometric, photometric, and survey properties

Gaia Collaboration, A. G. A. Brown, A. Vallenari +5

At about 1000 days after the launch of Gaia we present the first Gaia data release, Gaia DR1, consisting of astrometry and photometry for over 1 billion sources brighter than magni…
