There is a long-standing debate over the origin of the metal-poor stellar populations of the Milky Way (MW) bulge, with the two leading scenarios being that these populations are either (i) part of a classical metal-poor spheroid or (ii) the same population as the chemically defined thick disc seen at the solar neighbourhood. Here we test...

While the number of stars in the Galactic bulge with detailed chemical abundance measurements is increasing rapidly, the inner Galactic bulge (|b| < 2°) remains poorly studied, due to heavy interstellar absorption and photometric crowding. We have carried out a high-resolution IR spectroscopic study of 72 M giants in the inner bulge using the...

Context. The second Gaia data release, DR2, contained radial velocities of stars with effective temperatures up to Teff = 6900 K. The third data release, Gaia DR3, extends this up to Teff = 14 500 K. Aims: We derive the radial velocities for hot stars (i.e., in the Teff = 6900 − 14 500 K range) from data obtained with the Radial Velocity...

Context.Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) contains the first release of magnitudes estimated from the integration of Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) spectra for a sample of about 32.2 million stars brighter than GRVS ∼ 14 mag (or G ∼ 15 mag). Aims: In this paper, we describe the data used and the approach adopted to derive and validate the GRVS...
