Metal-Poor Lithium-Rich Giants in the Radial Velocity Experiment Survey

Gregory R. Ruchti, Jon P. Fulbright, Rosemary F. G. Wyse +17

We report the discovery of eight lithium-rich field giants found in a high resolution spectroscopic sample of over 700 metal-poor stars ([Fe/H]<-0.5) selected from the RAVE survey.…

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…

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and the Local Hubble Constant

Florian Beutler, Chris Blake, Matthew Colless +6

We analyse the large-scale correlation function of the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) and detect a Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) signal. The 6dFGS BAO detection allows us to constra…

Observational Properties of the Metal-Poor Thick Disk of the Milky Way Galaxy and Insights into Its Origins

Gregory R. Ruchti, Jon P. Fulbright, Rosemary F. G. Wyse +17

We have undertaken the study of the elemental abundances and kinematic properties of a metal-poor sample of candidate thick-disk stars selected from the RAVE spectroscopic survey o…
