Estimation of the Tilt of the Stellar Velocity Ellipsoid from RAVE and Implications for Mass Models

A. Siebert, O. Bienaymé, J. Binney +16

We present a measure of the inclination of the velocity ellipsoid at 1 kpc below the Galactic plane using a sample of red clump giants from the RAVE DR2 release. We find that the v…
