    The Pristine survey - XVII. The C-19 stream is dynamically hot and more extended than previously thought
    The C-19 stream is the most metal-poor stellar system ever discovered, with a mean metallicity [Fe/H] = -3.38 ± 0.06. Its low metallicity dispersion (σ [Fe/H] <...

    The Pristine survey - XVIII. C-19: tidal debris of a dark matter-dominated globular cluster?
    The recently discovered C-19 stellar stream is a collection of kinematically associated metal-poor stars in the halo of the Milky Way lacking an obvious...

    The Pristine survey - XX. GTC follow-up observations of extremely metal-poor stars identified from Pristine and LAMOST
    Ultra-metal-poor stars ($\rm {[Fe/H]} \lt -4.0$) are very rare, and finding them is a challenging task. Both narrow-band photometry and low-resolution...

    The Pristine survey - XXII. A serendipitous discovery of an extremely Li-rich very metal-poor giant and a new method of <SUP>6</SUP>Li/<SUP>7</SUP>Li isotope measurement
    We report the serendipitous discovery of a very metal-poor (VMP) Li-rich giant star (T eff = 4690 ± 80 K, log g = 1.34 ± 0.13, [Fe/H] = -2.43 ± 0.07). We...

    The Pristine survey IV: approaching the Galactic metallicity floor with the discovery of an ultra-metal-poor star
    The early Universe presented a star formation environment that was almost devoid of heavy elements. The lowest metallicity stars thus provide a unique window...

    The Pristine survey XI: the FORS2 sample
    Extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars are old objects that mostly formed very early after the big bang. They are rare and, to select them, we have to rely on low...

    The Pristine survey XIII: uncovering the very metal-poor tail of the thin disc
    We evaluate the rotational velocity of stars observed by the Pristine survey towards the Galactic anticentre spanning a wide range of metallicities from the...

    The properties and evolution of a K-band selected sample of massive galaxies at z ~ 0.4-2 in the Palomar/DEEP2 survey
    We present the results of a study on the properties and evolution of massive (M* > 1011Msolar) galaxies at z ~ 0.4-2 utilizing Keck spectroscopy, near-infrared...

    The properties of cataclysmic variables in photometric Hα surveys
    We report on the properties of 71 known cataclysmic variables (CVs) in photometric Hα emission-line surveys. Our study is motivated by the fact that the Isaac...
