A spectroscopic survey of thick disc stars outside the solar neighbourhood

G. Kordopatis, A. Recio-Blanco, P. de Laverny +7

We performed a spectroscopic survey of nearly 700 stars probing the galactic thick disc far from the solar neighbourhood towards the galactic coordinates (l~277, b~47). The derived…

The RAVE catalogue of stellar elemental abundances: first data release

C. Boeche, A. Siebert, M. Williams +21

We present chemical elemental abundances for stars observed by the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), an ambitious spectroscopic survey of our Galaxy at Galactic latitudes…

Distance determination for RAVE stars using stellar models III: The nature of the RAVE survey and Milky Way chemistry

B. Burnett, J. Binney, S. Sharma +19

We apply the method of Burnett & Binney (2010) for the determination of stellar distances and parameters to the internal catalogue of the Radial Velocity Experiment (Steinmetz et a…

Overlapping abundance gradients and azimuthal gradients related to the spiral structure of the Galaxy

J. R. D. Lepine, P. Cruz, S. Scarano +6

The connection between some features of the metallicity gradient in the Galactic disk, best revealed by Open Clusters and Cepheids, and the spiral structure, is explored. The step-…

AAOmega spectroscopy of 29 351 stars in fields centered on ten Galactic globular clusters

Richard R. Lane, László L. Kiss, Geraint F. Lewis +5

Galactic globular clusters have been pivotal in our understanding of many astrophysical phenomena. Here we publish the extracted stellar parameters from a recent large spectroscopi…

Study of LINER sources with broad H(alpha) emission. X-ray properties and comparision to luminous AGN and X-ray binaries

G. Younes, D. Porquet, B. Sabra +1

We study the X-ray properties of LINER sources with definite detection of a broad H(alpha) emission line in their optical spectra, LINER 1s from Ho et al. sample. These objects pre…

The RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE): Third Data Release

A. Siebert, M. E. K. Williams, A. Siviero +36

We present the third data release of the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) which is the first milestone of the RAVE project, releasing the full pilot survey. The catalog contains 8…

Variation of the extinction law in the Trifid nebula

L. Cambrésy, J. Rho, D. J. Marshall +1

In the past few years, the extinction law has been measured in the infrared wavelengths for various molecular clouds and different laws have been obtained. In this paper we seek va…

Chemically tagging the Hyades stream: Does it partly originate from the Hyades cluster?

L. Pompéia, T. Masseron, B. Famaey +19

The Hyades stream has long been thought to be a dispersed vestige of the Hyades cluster. However, recent analyses of the parallax distribution, of the mass function, and of the act…
