The escape speed curve of the Galaxy obtained from Gaia DR2 implies a heavy Milky Way
Giacomo Monari, Benoit Famaey, Ismael Carrillo +6
We measure the escape speed curve of the Milky Way based on the analysis of the velocity distribution of counter-rotating halo stars from the Gaia DR2. The distances we…
The selection function of the RAVE survey
Jennifer Wojno, Georges Kordopatis, Tilmann Piffl +23
We characterize the selection function of RAVE using 2MASS as our underlying population, which we assume represents all stars which could have potentially been observed. We evaluat…
Galactic Archaeology with CoRoT and APOGEE: Creating mock observations from a chemodynamical model
F. Anders, C. Chiappini, T. S. Rodrigues +8
In a companion paper, we have presented the combined asteroseismic-spectroscopic dataset obtained from CoRoT lightcurves and APOGEE infra-red spectra for 678 solar-like oscillating…
The distribution function of the Galaxy's dark halo
James Binney, Tilmann Piffl
Starting from the hypothesis that the Galaxy's dark halo responded adiabatically to the infall of baryons, we have constructed a self-consistent dynamical model of the Galaxy that…
Bringing the Galaxy's dark halo to life
T. Piffl, Z. Penoyre, J. Binney
We present a new method to construct fully self-consistent equilibrium models of multi-component disc galaxies similar to the Milky Way. We define distribution functions for the st…
4MOST - 4m Multi Object Spectroscopic Telescope
Eric Depagne, the 4MOST consortium
4MOST (4m Multi Object Spectroscopic Telescope) is a spectroscopic facility that will be installed on ESO's VISTA around 2020. The science rationale of this facility are to be foun…
