Stellar Metallicities from SkyMapper Photometry. II. Precise Photometric Metallicities of ∼280,000 Giant Stars with [Fe/H]

The Milky Way's metal-poor stars are nearby ancient objects that are used to study early chemical evolution and the assembly and structure of the Milky Way. Here we present reliable metallicities of ∼280,000 stars with −3.75 ≲ [Fe/H] ≲ −0.75 down to g = 17 derived using metallicity-sensitive ph...
