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…
The Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS) IX. The largest detailed chemical analysis of very metal-poor stars in the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
Federico Sestito, Sara Vitali, Paula Jofre +16
The most metal-poor stars provide valuable insights into the early chemical enrichment history of a system, carrying the chemical imprints of the first generations of supernovae. T…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
SpectroTranslator: a deep-neural network algorithm to homogenize spectroscopic parameters
G. F. Thomas, G. Battaglia, F. Gran +8
The emergence of large spectroscopic surveys requires homogenising on the same scale the quantities they measure in order to increase their scientific legacy. We developed the Spec…
Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia Colour-Magnitude Diagram-fitting (ChronoGal). I. The formation and evolution of the thin disk from the Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars
C. Gallart, F. Surot, S. Cassisi +15
The current major challenge to reconstruct the chronology of the Milky Way (MW) is the difficulty to derive precise stellar ages. CMD-fitting offers an alternative to individual ag…
On the metal-poor edge of the Milky Way "thin disc"
Emma Fernández-Alvar, Georges Kordopatis, Vanessa Hill +9
The emergence of the disc in our Galaxy and the relation of the thick and thin disc formation and evolution is still a matter of debate. The chemo-dynamical characterization of dis…
