The Pristine survey XIV: chemical analysis of two ultra-metal-poor stars
C. Lardo, L. Mashonkina, P. Jablonka +15
Elemental abundances of the most metal-poor stars reflect the conditions in the early Galaxy and the properties of the first stars. We present a spectroscopic follow-up of two ultr…
Pristine IX: CFHT ESPaDOnS Spectroscopic Analysis of 115 Bright Metal-Poor Candidate Stars
Kim Venn, Collin Kielty, Federico Sestito +18
A chemo-dynamical analysis of 115 metal-poor candidate stars selected from the narrow-band Pristine photometric survey is presented based on CFHT high-resolution ESPaDoNS spectrosc…
The R-Process Alliance: Spectroscopic Follow-up of Low-Metallicity Star Candidates from the Best & Brightest Survey
Vinicius M. Placco, Rafael M. Santucci, Timothy C. Beers +17
We present results from an observing campaign to identify low-metallicity stars in the Best & Brightest Survey. From medium-resolution (R ~ 1, 200 - 2, 000) spectroscopy of 857 can…
Binarity among CEMP-no stars: an indication of multiple formation pathways?
Anke Arentsen, Else Starkenburg, Matthew D. Shetrone +3
Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars comprise a large percentage of stars at the lowest metallicities. The stars in the CEMP-no subcategory do not show any s-process enhancement…
The Pristine Survey IV: Approaching the Galactic metallicity floor with the discovery of an ultra metal-poor star
Else Starkenburg, David S. Aguado, Piercarlo Bonifacio +22
The early Universe presented a star formation environment that was almost devoid of heavy elements. The lowest metallicity stars thus provide a unique window into the earliest Gala…
The Pristine survey II: a sample of bright stars observed with FEROS
E. Caffau, P. Bonifacio, E. Starkenburg +8
Extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars are old objects formed in the first Gyr of the Universe. They are rare and, to select them, the most successful strategy has been to build on large…
