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…
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…
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…
The Dawning of the Stream of Aquarius in RAVE
Mary E. K. Williams, Matthias Steinmetz, Sanjib Sharma +22
We identify a new, nearby (0.5 < d < 10 kpc) stream in data from the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE). As the majority of stars in the stream lie in the constellation of Aquarius…
Detection of a radial velocity gradient in the extended local disc with RAVE
A. Siebert, B. Famaey, I. Minchev +22
Using a sample of 213,713 stars from the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) survey, limited to a distance of 2 kpc from the Sun and to |z|<1 kpc, we report the detection of a veloci…
Testing formation mechanisms of the Milky Way's thick disc with RAVE
Michelle Wilson, Amina Helmi, H. L. Morrison +21
We study the eccentricity distribution of a thick disc sample of stars observed in the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) and compare it to that expected in four simulations of thic…
Origins of the Thick Disk as Traced by the Alpha-Elements of Metal-Poor Giant Stars Selected from RAVE
G. R. Ruchti, J. P. Fulbright, R. F. G. Wyse +20
Theories of thick disk formation can be differentiated by measurements of stellar elemental abundances. We have undertaken a study of metal-poor stars selected from the RAVE spectr…
Distance determination for RAVE stars using stellar models
M. A. Breddels, M. C. Smith, A. Helmi +21
(Abridged) Aims:We develop a method for deriving distances from spectroscopic data and obtaining full 6D phase-space coordinates for the RAVE survey's second data release. Methods:…
