A planetary nebula around nova V458 Vul undergoing flash ionization
R. Wesson, M. J. Barlow, R. L. M. Corradi +25
Nova V458 Vul erupted on 2007 August 8th and reached a visual magnitude of 8.1 a few days later. H images obtained six weeks before the outburst as part of the IPHAS galactic pl…
Estimation of the Tilt of the Stellar Velocity Ellipsoid from RAVE and Implications for Mass Models
A. Siebert, O. Bienaymé, J. Binney +16
We present a measure of the inclination of the velocity ellipsoid at 1 kpc below the Galactic plane using a sample of red clump giants from the RAVE DR2 release. We find that the v…
Diffuse interstellar bands in RAVE Survey spectra
U. Munari, L. Tomasella, M. Fiorucci +19
We have used spectra of hot stars from the RAVE Survey in order to investigate the visibility and properties of five diffuse interstellar bands previously reported in the literatur…
Newly confirmed and high quality candidate Galactic SNRs uncovered from the AAO/UKST HAlpha survey
M. Stupar, Q. A. Parker, M. D. Filipovic
We present a catalogue of 18 new Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) uncovered in the optical regime as filamentary emissions and extended nebulosities on images of the Anglo Austra…
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…
Galactic kinematics with RAVE data: I. The distribution of stars towards the Galactic poles
L. Veltz, O. Bienaymé, K. C. Freeman +16
We analyze the distribution of G and K type stars towards the Galactic poles using RAVE and ELODIE radial velocities, 2MASS photometric star counts, and UCAC2 proper motions. The c…
