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 Pristine survey: XXIII. Data Release 1 and an all-sky metallicity catalogue based on Gaia DR3 BP/RP spectro-photometry
We used the spectro-photometric information of ∼219 million stars from Gaia's Data Release 3 (DR3) to calculate synthetic, narrowband, metallicity-sensitive...
The Pristine survey: XXIV. The Galactic underdogs: Dynamic tales of a Milky Way metal-poor population
Context. Metal-poor stars hold key information on the early Milky Way. Through the identification and characterisation of substructures, one can understand...
The Pristine survey: XXV. The very metal-poor Galaxy: Chemodynamics through the follow-up of the Pristine-Gaia synthetic catalogue
Context. The Pristine-Gaia synthetic catalogue of reliable photometric metallicities makes use of spectrophotometric information from Gaia DR3 XP spectra to...
The Pristine survey: XXVI. Chemical abundances of subgiant stars of the extremely metal-poor stream C-19
Context. The C-19 stellar stream is the most metal-poor stream known to date. While its wth and velocity dispersion indicate a dwarf galaxy origin, its...
The Pristine survey: XXVII. The extremely metal-poor stream C-19 stretches over more than 100 degrees
The discovery of the most metal-poor stream, C-19, provides us with a fossil record of a stellar structure born very soon after the big bang. In this work, we...
The Pristine survey: XXVIII. Journey to the Galactic outskirts: Mapping the outer halo red giant stars down to the very metal-poor end
Context. The outer Galactic halo remains relatively unexplored, particularly regarding its metallicity distribution, merger debris, and the population of very...
The prompt emission and peculiar break of GRB 060124
Our multi-wavelength analysis of GRB 060124 shows the unusual behaviour of the decaying lightcurve as well as supporting the recently proposed phenomenon of...
