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 ($M_{…
Galactic Archeology with 4MOST
S. Feltzing, T. Bensby, M. Bergemann +8
4MOST is a new wide-field, high-multiplex spectroscopic survey facility for the VISTA telescope of ESO. Starting in 2022, 4MOST will deploy more than 2400 fibres in a 4.1 square de…
Chemical Mapping of the Milky Way With The Canada-France Imaging Survey: A Non-parametric Metallicity-Distance Decomposition of the Galaxy
Rodrigo Ibata, Alan McConnachie, Jean-Charles Cuillandre +41
We present the chemical distribution of the Milky Way, based on 2,900 of -band photometry taken as part of the Canada-France Imaging Survey. When complete, this…
The Canada-France Imaging Survey: First results from the u-band component
Rodrigo Ibata, Alan McConnachie, Jean-Charles Cuillandre +41
The Canada-France Imaging Survey (CFIS) will map the northern high Galactic latitude sky in the -band ("CFIS-u", 10,000) and in the -band ("CFIS-r", 5,000$\,…
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…
