Abstract We present a one-dimensional, local thermodynamic equilibrium (1D-LTE) homogeneous analysis of 132 stars observed at high-resolution with ESPaDOnS. This represents the largest sample observed at high resolution (R ∼ 40 000) from the Pristine survey. This sample is based on the first version of the Pristine catalog and covers the full...

The Pristine survey uses narrow-band photometry to derive precise metallicities down to the extremely metal-poor regime ( [Fe/H] < -3), and currently consists of over 4 million FGK-type stars over a sky area of ˜ 2500 deg^2. We focus our analysis on a subsample of ˜80 000 main-sequence turn-off stars with heliocentric distances between 6 and 20...

Our Galaxy is known to contain a central boxy/peanut-shaped bulge, yet the importance of a classical, pressure-supported component within the central part of the Milky Way is still being debated. It should be most visible at low metallicity, a regime that has not yet been studied in detail. Using metallicity-sensitive narrow-band photometry,...
