VizieR Online Data Catalog: Galaxy halo Extremely Metal-Poor stars (Cordoni+, 2021)
Abstract
We have analysed a sample of 475 very metal-poor giant stars, most of which have originated from the SkyMapper search for the most metal-poor stars in our Galaxy (Da Costa et al., 2019MNRAS.489.5900D, Cat. J/MNRAS/489/5900). The data set covers a metallicity range of almost five dex (-6.5<[Fe/H]<=-2), and together with the relatively large number of stars, makes it ideal to investigate the kinematics, and ultimately the origin, of these very rare and important objects together with the implications for the formation of the MW.
