TDCOSMO: I. An exploration of systematic uncertainties in the inference of H-0 from time-delay cosmography

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Hung-Hsu Chan, Adriano Agnello

Time-delay cosmography of lensed quasars has achieved 2.4% precision on the measurement of the Hubble constant, H-0. As part of an ongoing effort to uncover and control systematic uncertainties, we investigate three potential sources: 1- stellar kinematics ...

TDCOSMO. IV. Hierarchical time-delay cosmography - joint inference of the Hubble constant and galaxy density profiles

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Aymeric Alexandre Galan, Adriano Agnello

The H0LiCOWcollaboration inferred via strong gravitational lensing time delays a Hubble constant value of H0 = 73 :3+1:7 1:8 km s 1 Mpc 1, describing deflector mass density profiles by either a power-law or stars (constant mass-to-light ratio) plus standar ...

Homogeneity in the early chemical evolution of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North, Carmela Lardo, Romain Ely Roland Lucchesi

We present the high-resolution spectroscopic analysis of two new extremely metal-poor star (EMPS) candidates in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sextans. These targets were preselected from medium-resolution spectra centered around the CaII triplet in the near- ...

Molecular clouds in the Cosmic Snake normal star-forming galaxy 8 billion years ago

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Daniel Pfenniger, Johan Richard

The cold molecular gas in contemporary galaxies is structured in discrete cloud complexes. These giant molecular clouds (GMCs), with 10(4)-10(7) solar masses (M-circle dot) and radii of 5-100 parsecs, are the seeds of star formation(1). Highlighting the mo ...

Early chemical enrichment of the Milky Way dwarf satellites from high-resolution and NLTE analysis of VMP stars

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North

We present the NLTE abundances of 10 chemical species in 65 very metal-poor stars in eight dSphs and the Milky Way halo. The classical dSphs Sculptor, Ursa Minor, Sextans, and Fornax reveal a similar plateau at [alpha/Fe] = 0.3 for each of Mg, Ca, and Ti, ...

The Pristine survey - I. Mining the Galaxy for the most metal-poor stars

Pascale Jablonka, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We present the Pristine survey, a new narrow-band photometric survey focused on the metallicity-sensitive Ca H&K lines and conducted in the Northern hemisphere with the wide-field imager MegaCam on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. This paper reviews our ...

The formation of the Milky Way halo and its dwarf satellites; a NLTE-1D abundance analysis

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North

We present a homogeneous set of accurate atmospheric parameters for a complete sample of very and extremely metal-poor stars in the dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) Sculptor, Ursa Minor, Sextans, Fornax, Botes I, Ursa Major II, and Leo IV. We also deliver ...

What is the Milky Way outer halo made of? High resolution spectroscopy of distant red giants

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North

In a framework where galaxies form hierarchically, extended stellar haloes are predicted to be an ubiquitous feature around Milky Way-like galaxies and to consist mainly of the shredded stellar component of smaller galactic systems. The type of accreted st ...

The post-infall evolution of a satellite galaxy

Pascale Jablonka, Yves Revaz, Matthew Luke Nichols

We describe a new method that only focuses on the local region surrounding an infalling dwarf in an effort to understand how the hot baryonic halo alters the chemodynamical evolution of dwarf galaxies. Using this method, we examine how a dwarf, similar to ...
