Probing the early Milky Way with GHOST spectra of an extremely metal-poor star in the Galactic disk
Anya Dovgal, Kim A. Venn, Federico Sestito +31
Pristine_183.6849+04.8619 (P1836849) is an extremely metal-poor ([Fe/H]) star on a prograde orbit confined to the Galactic disk. Such stars are rare and may have their…
SPLUS J142445.34-254247.1: An R-Process Enhanced, Actinide-Boost, Extremely Metal-Poor star observed with GHOST
Vinicius M. Placco, Felipe Almeida-Fernandes, Erika M. Holmbeck +33
We report on the chemo-dynamical analysis of SPLUS J142445.34-254247.1, an extremely metal-poor halo star enhanced in elements formed by the rapid neutron-capture process. This sta…
GHOST Commissioning Science Results II: a very metal-poor star witnessing the early Galactic assembly
Federico Sestito, Christian R. Hayes, Kim A. Venn +25
This study focuses on Pristine (hereafter P180956, ), a star selected from the Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS), and followed-up…
Towards an automatic approach to modelling the circumgalactic medium: new tools for mock making and fitting of metal profiles in large surveys
Alessia Longobardi, Matteo Fossati, Michele Fumagalli +6
We present two new tools for studying and modelling metal absorption lines in the circumgalactic medium. The first tool, dubbed ``NMF Profile Maker'' (NMFPM), uses a non-negativ…
GHOST Commissioning Science Results: Identifying a new chemically peculiar star in Reticulum II
Christian R. Hayes, Kim A. Venn, Fletcher Waller +79
The Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) is the newest high resolution spectrograph to be developed for a large aperture telescope, recently deployed and commissione…
Evidence of First Stars-enriched Gas in High-redshift Absorbers
A. Saccardi, S. Salvadori, V. D'Odorico +6
The first stars were born from chemically pristine gas. They were likely massive, and thus they rapidly exploded as supernovae, enriching the surrounding gas with the first heavy e…
