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 high signal-to-noise follow-up observations of 9 metal-poor stars identified during the DESI commissioning with the Optical System for Imaging and low-Intermediate-Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy (OSIRIS) instrument on the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). 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.
Observations of the planetary nebula RWT 152 with OSIRIS/GTC
RWT 152是少数几个已知的行星状星云之一，其中心恒星是sdO。我们提出了亚角秒红色可调谐滤波器Halpha成像和中等分辨率，长缝光谱的RWT 152获得与OSIRIS/GTC的目的是分析其属性。这张Halalpha图像显示了一个双极星云，有一个明亮的赤道区域和主叶中的多个气泡。一个微弱的圆形光晕围绕着主星云。星云光谱显示出一个非常低激发态的星云，有来自H^+、He^+和双电离金属的微弱发射线，除了极微弱的[NII]6584发射线外，没有来自中性和单电离金属的发射线。如果RWT 152是一个密度受限的行星状星云，那么这些光谱就可以得到解释。在RWT 152中获得了低的S、O、Ar、N和Ne的星云化学丰度，这与导出的高特有速度（$\sim$ 92-131 km s $^{-1}$）一起表明该天体是一个晕行星状星云。现有数据与RWT 152一致，RWT 152是从在贫金属环境中形成的低质量前体（$\sim$ 1 M $_{\odot}$）演变而来的。
