Origins of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars (2017)
Journal Article
Sharma, M., Theuns, T., Frenk, C. S., & Cooke, R. J. (2018). Origins of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 473(1), 984-995. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2392

We investigate the nature of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars in Milky Way (MW) analogues selected from the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulation. The stellar evolution model in EAGLE includes the physics of enrichment by asymptotic gia... Read More about Origins of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars.

The Little Cub: Discovery of an Extremely Metal-poor Star-forming Galaxy in the Local Universe (2017)
Journal Article
Hsyu, T., Cooke, R. J., Prochaska, J. X., & Bolte, M. (2017). The Little Cub: Discovery of an Extremely Metal-poor Star-forming Galaxy in the Local Universe. Astrophysical Journal, 845(2), Article L22. https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/aa821f

We report the discovery of the Little Cub, an extremely metal-poor star-forming galaxy in the local universe, found in the constellation Ursa Major (a.k.a. the Great Bear). We first identified the Little Cub as a candidate metal-poor galaxy based on... Read More about The Little Cub: Discovery of an Extremely Metal-poor Star-forming Galaxy in the Local Universe.

Discovery of the most metal-poor damped Lyman-α system (2017)
Journal Article
Cooke, R. J., Pettini, M., & Steidel, C. C. (2017). Discovery of the most metal-poor damped Lyman-α system. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 467(1), 802-811. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx037

We report the discovery and analysis of the most metal-poor damped Lyman α (DLA) system currently known, based on observations made with the Keck HIRES spectrograph. The metal paucity of this system has only permitted the determination of three eleme... Read More about Discovery of the most metal-poor damped Lyman-α system.
