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 VIII: The metallicity distribution function of the Milky Way halo down to the extremely metal-poor regime
K. Youakim, E. Starkenburg, N. F. Martin +15
The Pristine survey uses narrow-band photometry to derive precise metallicities down to the extremely metal-poor regime ([Fe/H] < -3), and currently consists of over 4 million FGK-…
The Pristine Dwarf-Galaxy survey - II. In-depth observational study of the faint Milky Way satellite Sagittarius II
Nicolas Longeard, Nicolas Martin, Else Starkenburg +11
We present an extensive study of the Sagittarius II (Sgr II) stellar system using MegaCam g and i photometry, narrow-band, metallicity-sensitive Calcium H&K doublet photometry, aug…
The Pristine survey III: Spectroscopic confirmation of an efficient search for extremely metal-poor stars
K. Youakim, E. Starkenburg, D. S. Aguado +13
The Pristine survey is a narrow-band, photometric survey focused around the wavelength region of the Ca II H & K absorption lines, designed to efficiently search for extremely meta…
