Tracing the early Milky Way thin disc with the Gaia-ESO Survey

The origin of metal-poor stars on thin-disc-like orbits remains an open question in Galactic archaeology and provides important constraints on the earliest phases of Milky Way disc formation.

The origin of metal-poor stars on thin-disc-like orbits remains an open question in Galactic archaeology and provides important constraints on the earliest phases of Milky Way disc formation. We aim to identify and characterise metal-poor stars with thin-disc-like kinematics…
