The Pristine survey -- XII: Gemini-GRACES chemo-dynamical study of newly discovered extremely metal-poor stars in the Galaxy
Collin L. Kielty, Kim A. Venn, Federico Sestito +16
High-resolution optical spectra of 30 metal-poor stars selected from the \Pristine\ survey are presented, based on observations taken with the Gemini Observatory GRACES spectrograp…
Exploring the origin of low-metallicity stars in Milky Way-like galaxies with the NIHAO-UHD simulations
Federico Sestito, Tobias Buck, Else Starkenburg +6
The kinematics of the most metal-poor stars provide a window into the early formation and accretion history of the Milky Way. Here, we use 5~high-resolution cosmological zoom-in si…
The hidden past of M92: Detection and characterization of a newly formed 17° long stellar stream using the Canada-France Imaging Survey
Guillaume F. Thomas, Jaclyn Jensen, Alan McConnachie +17
We present an analysis of the structure, kinematics and orbit of a newly found stellar stream emanating from the globular cluster M92 (NGC 6341). This stream was discovered in an i…
The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) II: Uncovering the most metal-poor populations in the inner Milky Way
Anke Arentsen, Else Starkenburg, Nicolas F. Martin +19
Metal-poor stars are important tools for tracing the early history of the Milky Way, and for learning about the first generations of stars. Simulations suggest that the oldest meta…
The Pristine Dwarf-Galaxy survey -- III. Revealing the nature of the Milky Way globular cluster Sagittarius II
Nicolas Longeard, Nicolas Martin, Rodrigo Ibata +13
We present a new spectroscopic study of the faint Milky Way satellite Sagittarius II. Using multi-object spectroscopy from the Fibre Large Array Multi Element Spectrograph, we supp…
Probabilistic fibre-to-target assignment algorithm for multi-object spectroscopic surveys
E. Tempel, P. Norberg, T. Tuvikene +22
Context. Several new multi-object spectrographs are currently planned or under construction that are capable of observing thousands of Galactic and extragalactic objects simultaneo…
