The MAGIC survey provides photometric metallicities for RGB stars over ~3000 deg² using CaHK narrow-band imaging plus DELVE g,r,i data, recovering 13/14 known ultra-faint dwarfs and confirming a distant Reticulum II member.

Observational analysis of EMP stars including a new r-process enhanced star G256353 whose heavy-element pattern matches scaled solar and neutron-star-merger predictions, supporting r-process universality.
Multi-method spectroscopic analysis of 585 FGK dwarfs shows parameter scatters larger than internal errors, inducing sub-5% fractional uncertainties on derived exoplanet radius and mass.
Derives stellar labels for 357k RVS giants via The Cannon and uses abundance-based logistic regression to tag GSE debris with consistent patterns after kinematic filtering.
New abundance measurements confirm two stars as r-II and one as borderline r-I, with r-process material older than 10 Gyr and possible links to the Thamnos structure.
