Schwarzschild models of the Sculptor dSph galaxy
Maarten A. Breddels, Amina Helmi, R. C. E. van den Bosch +2
We have developed a spherically symmetric dynamical model of a dwarf spheroidal galaxy using the Schwarzschild method. This type of modelling yields constraints both on the total m…
Constraining the Milky Way potential using the dynamical kinematic substructures
Giacomo Monari, Teresa Antoja, Amina Helmi
We present a method to constrain the potential of the non-axisymmetric components of the Galaxy using the kinematics of stars in the solar neighborhood. The basic premise is that d…
Euclid Definition Study Report
R. Laureijs, J. Amiaux, S. Arduini +216
Euclid is a space-based survey mission from the European Space Agency designed to understand the origin of the Universe's accelerating expansion. It will use cosmological probes to…
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…
