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…
Light and Motion in SDSS Stripe 82: The Catalogues
D. M. Bramich, S. Vidrih, L. Wyrzykowski +19
We present a new public archive of light-motion curves in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82, covering 99 deg in right ascension from RA = 20.7 h to 3.3 h and spanning 2.52…
The Milky Way's Circular Velocity Curve to 60 kpc and an Estimate of the Dark Matter Halo Mass from Kinematics of ~2400 SDSS Blue Horizontal Branch Stars
X. -X. Xue, H. -W. Rix, G. Zhao +14
We derive new constraints on the mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, based on a set of halo stars from SDSS as kinematic tracers. Our sample comprises 2401 rigorously selecte…
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…
New UltraCool and Halo White Dwarf Candidates in SDSS Stripe 82
S. Vidrih, D. M. Bramich, P. C. Hewett +16
A 2.5 x 100 degree region along the celestial equator (Stripe 82) has been imaged repeatedly from 1998 to 2005 by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. A new catalogue of ~4 million light-…
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…
