Abstract

Abstract The observations from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will significantly increase the numbers of known extremely metal-poor stars by a factor of ∼10, improving the sample statistics to study the early chemical evolution of the Milky Way and the nature of the first stars. In this paper we report follow-up observations with high signal-to-noise ratio of nine metal-poor stars identified during the DESI commissioning with the Optical System for Imaging and Low-Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy (OSIRIS) instrument on the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias. The analysis of the data using a well-vetted methodology confirms the quality of the DESI spectra and the performance of the pipelines developed for the data reduction and analysis of DESI data.

来自DESI的极贫金属候选恒星的GTC后续观测

暗能量光谱仪器(DESI)的观测结果将使已知的极贫金属恒星的数量显著增加~ 10倍，从而改善样本统计，以研究银河系的早期化学演化和第一批恒星的性质。在本文中，我们报道了在10.4 m加那利望远镜上使用光学成像系统和低分辨率集成光谱(OSIRIS)仪器进行DESI调试期间发现的9颗金属贫星的高信噪比后续观测。使用经过严格审查的方法对数据进行分析，证实了DESI光谱的质量以及为DESI数据减少和分析而开发的管道的性能。
