What is the Milky Way outer halo made of? High resolution spectroscopy of distant red giants
G. Battaglia, P. North, P. Jablonka +5
In a framework where galaxies form hierarchically, extended stellar haloes are predicted to be an ubiquitous feature around Milky Way-like galaxies and to consist mainly of the shr…
A unified model for age-velocity dispersion relations in Local Group galaxies: Disentangling ISM turbulence and latent dynamical heating
Ryan Leaman, J. Trevor Mendel, Emily Wisnioski +9
We analyze age-velocity dispersion relations (AVRs) from kinematics of individual stars in eight Local Group galaxies ranging in mass from Carina () to M31 ($M_{…
Chemical Mapping of the Milky Way With The Canada-France Imaging Survey: A Non-parametric Metallicity-Distance Decomposition of the Galaxy
Rodrigo Ibata, Alan McConnachie, Jean-Charles Cuillandre +41
We present the chemical distribution of the Milky Way, based on 2,900 of -band photometry taken as part of the Canada-France Imaging Survey. When complete, this…
The Canada-France Imaging Survey: First results from the u-band component
Rodrigo Ibata, Alan McConnachie, Jean-Charles Cuillandre +41
The Canada-France Imaging Survey (CFIS) will map the northern high Galactic latitude sky in the -band ("CFIS-u", 10,000) and in the -band ("CFIS-r", 5,000$\,…
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…
The "Building Blocks" of Stellar Halos
Kyle A. Oman, Else Starkenburg, Julio F. Navarro
The stellar halos of galaxies encode their accretion histories. In particular, the median metallicity of a halo is determined primarily by the mass of the most massive accreted obj…
