The R-Process Alliance: Spectroscopic Follow-up of Low-metallicity Star Candidates from the Best & Brightest Survey

We present results from an observing campaign to identify low-metallicity stars in the Best & Brightest Survey. From medium-resolution (R ∼ 1200-2000) spectroscopy of 857 candidates, we estimate the stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff, log, g, and [Fe/H]), as well as carbon and α-element abunda...
