The Gravitational Potential Near the Sun From SEGUE K-dwarf Kinematics
Lan Zhang, Hans-Walter Rix, Glenn van de Ven +3
To constrain the Galactic gravitational potential near the Sun (1.5 kpc), we derive and model the spatial and velocity distribution for a sample of 9000 K-dwarfs that have sp…

The vertical motions of mono-abundance sub-populations in the Milky Way disk
Jo Bovy, Hans-Walter Rix, David W. Hogg +3
We present the vertical kinematics of stars in the Milky Way's stellar disk inferred from SDSS/SEGUE G-dwarf data, deriving the vertical velocity dispersion, σ_z, as a function of…
