Diffuse interstellar bands in RAVE Survey spectra
U. Munari, L. Tomasella, M. Fiorucci +19
We have used spectra of hot stars from the RAVE Survey in order to investigate the visibility and properties of five diffuse interstellar bands previously reported in the literatur…
The Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE): second data release
T. Zwitter, A. Siebert, U. Munari +51
We present the second data release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), an ambitious spectroscopic survey to measure radial velocities (RVs) and stellar atmosphere parameters…
Galactic kinematics with RAVE data: I. The distribution of stars towards the Galactic poles
L. Veltz, O. Bienaymé, K. C. Freeman +16
We analyze the distribution of G and K type stars towards the Galactic poles using RAVE and ELODIE radial velocities, 2MASS photometric star counts, and UCAC2 proper motions. The c…
Is the sky falling? Searching for stellar streams in the local Milky Way disc in the CORAVEL and RAVE surveys
G. M. Seabroke, G. Gilmore, A. Siebert +19
We have searched for in-falling stellar streams on to the local Milky Way disc in the CORAVEL and RAVE surveys. The CORAVEL survey consists of local dwarf stars (Nordstrom et al. G…
The RAVE Survey: Constraining the Local Galactic Escape Speed
M. C. Smith, G. R. Ruchti, A. Helmi +20
We report new constraints on the local escape speed of our Galaxy. Our analysis is based on a sample of high velocity stars from the RAVE survey and two previously published datase…
The Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE): first data release
M. Steinmetz, T. Zwitter, A. Siebert +51
We present the first data release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), an ambitious spectroscopic survey to measure radial velocities and stellar atmosphere parameters (temper…
The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Samples, Observational Techniques and the First Data Release
D. Heath Jones, Will Saunders, Matthew Colless +20
The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) aims to measure the redshifts of around 150,000 galaxies, and the peculiar velocities of a 15,000-member sub-sample, over almost the entire southern s…
The 6dF Galaxy Survey
Ken-ichi Wakamatsu, Matthew Colless, Tom Jarrett +3
The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) is a spectroscopic survey of the entire southern sky with , based on the 2MASS near infrared galaxy catalog. It is conducted with the 6dF mul…
The Kinematics and Metallicity of the M31 Globular Cluster System
K. M. Perrett, T. J. Bridges, D. A. Hanes +5
With the ultimate aim of distinguishing between various models describing the formation of galaxy halos (e.g. radial or multi-phase collapse, random mergers), we have completed a s…
Detection of Large Scale Structure in a Galaxy Redshift Survey
A. Ratcliffe, T. Shanks, A. Broadbent +5
We report on results from the Durham/UKST Galaxy Redshift Survey where we have found large scale ``cellular'' features in the galaxy distribution. These have spatial 2-point correl…
