Kinematic and metallicity properties od the Aquarius dwarf galaxy from FORS2 MXU spectroscopy
L. Hermosa Muñoz, S. Taibi, G. Battaglia +10
Dwarf galaxies found in isolation in the Local Group (LG) are unlikely to have interacted with the large LG spirals, and therefore environmental effects should not be the main driv…
The Pristine survey X: a large population of low-metallicity stars permeates the Galactic disk
Federico Sestito, Nicolas F. Martin, Else Starkenburg +26
The orbits of the least chemically enriched stars open a window on the formation of our Galaxy when it was still in its infancy. The common picture is that these low-metallicity st…
The Canada-France Imaging Survey: Reconstructing the Milky Way Star Formation History from its White Dwarf Population
Nicholas J. Fantin, Patrick Côté, Alan W. McConnachie +15
As the remnants of stars with initial masses 8 M, white dwarfs contain valuable information on the formation histories of stellar populations. In this paper, w…
The Pristine survey -- VII. A cleaner view of the Galactic outer halo using blue horizontal branch stars
Else Starkenburg, Kris Youakim, Nicolas Martin +11
We use the Pristine survey CaHK narrow-band photometry, combined with the SDSS ugr photometry, to provide a cleaner sample of blue horizontal branch stars in the Galactic halo out…
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 Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) I: Tracing the kinematics of metal-poor stars in the Galactic bulge
Anke Arentsen, Else Starkenburg, Nicolas F. Martin +20
Our Galaxy is known to contain a central boxy/peanut-shaped bulge, yet the importance of a classical, pressure-supported component within the central part of the Milky Way is still…
