Spectroscopy of Pristine EMP star candidates

We present the results of a 3-yr long, medium-resolution spectroscopic campaign aimed at identifying very metal-poor stars from candidates selected with the CaHK, metallicity-sensitive Pristine survey. The catalogue consists of a total of 1007 stars, and includes 146 rediscoveries of metal-poor stars already presented in previous surveys, 707 new very metal-poor stars with [Fe/H]<-2.0, and 95 new extremely metal-poor stars with [Fe/H]<-3.0. We provide a spectroscopic [Fe/H] for every star in the catalogue, and [C/Fe] measurements for a subset of the stars (10 per cent with [Fe/H]<-3 and 24 per cent with -3<[Fe/H]=+0.7) of 41+/-4 per cent for stars with -3<[Fe/H]<-2 and 58+/-14 per cent for stars with [Fe/H]<-3, and report updated success rates for the Pristine survey of 56 per cent and 23 per cent to recover stars with [Fe/H]<-2.5 and <-3, respectively. Finally, we discuss the current status of the survey and its preparation for providing targets to upcoming multi-object spectroscopic surveys such as William Herschel Telescope Enhanced Area Velocity Explorer.
