Over the course of its history, the Milky Way has ingested multiple
smaller satellite galaxies1. Although these accreted stellar
populations can be forensically identified as kinematically distinct
structures within the Galaxy, it is difficult in general to date
precisely the age at which any one merger occurred. Recent results have
revealed a population of stars that were accreted via the collision of a
dwarf galaxy, called Gaia-Enceladus1, leading to substantial
pollution of the chemical and dynamical properties of the Milky Way.
Here we identify the very bright, naked-eye star ν Indi as an
indicator of the age of the early in situ population of the Galaxy. We
combine asteroseismic, spectroscopic, astrometric and kinematic
observations to show that this metal-poor, alpha-element-rich star was
an indigenous member of the halo, and we measure its age to be 11.0
±0.7 ? (stat) ±0.8 ? (sys) billion years. The star bears
hallmarks consistent with having been kinematically heated by the
Gaia-Enceladus collision. Its age implies that the earliest the merger
could have begun was 11.6 and 13.2 billion years ago, at 68% and 95%
confidence, respectively. Computations based on hierarchical
cosmological models slightly reduce the above limits.
