The Pristine survey: XXVIII. Journey to the Galactic outskirts: Mapping the outer halo red giant stars down to the very metal-poor end
Context. The outer Galactic halo remains relatively unexplored, particularly regarding its metallicity distribution, merger debris, and the population of very and extremely metal-poor ([Fe/H] < -2.5) stars. Aims. Using photometric metallicities from the Pristine survey data release 1 (PDR1) and Pristine-Gaia synthetic (PGS) catalogue and Gaia DR3
