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 velocity dispersion and mass profile of the Milky Way
Walter Dehnen, Dean McLaughlin, Jalpesh Sachania
We re-analyse the velocity-dispersion profile sigma(r) at radii r>10 kpc in the Galactic stellar halo, recently derived by Battaglia et al. (2005), who concluded that, for constant…
