The primordial nature of the C-19 stellar stream
Kim A. Venn, Zhen Yuan, Nicolas F. Martin +32
Stellar streams, remnants of compact star systems stretched out by the tidal forces of the Milky Way, offer a unique way to study stellar populations that formed billions of years…
First large scale spatial and velocity patterns of local metal-rich stars in the Milky Way
Georges Kordopatis, Diane Feuillet, Christian Lehmann +4
(Abridged) The present-day spatial and kinematic distribution of stars in the Milky Way provides key constraints on its internal dynamics and evolutionary history. We select stars…
Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal) II. Unveiling the formation and evolution of the kinematically selected Thick and Thin Discs
Emma Fernández-Alvar, Tomás Ruiz-Lara, Carme Gallart +16
Understanding the formation and evolution of the Milky Way's thin and thick discs is crucial to galaxy formation studies. We derive age and metallicity distributions of the kinemat…
The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) XI: Revealing the chemical evolution of the interacting Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
Sara Vitali, Alvaro Rojas-Arriagada, Paula Jofré +9
The Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph) is a satellite orbiting the Milky Way that has experienced multiple stripping events due to tidal interactions with our Galaxy. I…
An ancient system hidden in the Galactic plane?
Federico Sestito, Emma Fernandez-Alvar, Rebecca Brooks +19
We analyse high signal-to-noise ESPaDOnS/CFHT spectra of 20 very metal-poor stars (VMP; [Fe/H]~) in the solar neighbourhood (within kpc), selected to be on planar or…
The Pristine survey XXIV: The Galactic underdogs -- Dynamic tales of a Milky Way metal-poor population
Isaure González Rivera de La Vernhe, Vanessa Hill, Georges Kordopatis +12
Through the chemodynamical characterisation of metal-poor stars, one can efficiently probe the early history of the Milky Way. We aim at decontaminating a sample of 3M giant…
