MINCE

In recent years, Galactic archaeology has become a particularly vibrant field of astronomy, with its main focus set on the oldest stars our Galaxy. most cases, these have been identified as metal-poor. However, struggle to find ancient fossils produced an important bias in observations - particular, intermediate metal-poor (-2.5<[Fe/H]< -1.5) frequently overlooked. The missing information consequences for precise study chemical enrichment Galaxy, particular what concerns neutron-capture elements and it will be only partially covered by future multi-object spectroscopic surveys such WEAVE 4MOST. Measuring at Intermediate Metallicity Neutron Capture Elements (MINCE) is gathering first high-quality spectra (high S/N ratio high resolution) several hundreds bright stars, mainly located halo. We compiled selection basis Gaia data determined stellar atmospheres sample abundances each star. this paper, we present 59 46 stars. measured radial velocities computed orbits all found that 8 belong thin disc, 15 disrupted satellites, remaining cannot associated mentioned structures, call them halo For 33 provide up zinc. also show evolution results eleven elements, based models. Our observational strategy using multiple telescopes spectrographs acquire high-resolution proven very efficient since was acquired over about one year observations. Finally, target proved satisfactory purposes.
