Chemodynamics of the Milky Way. I. The first year of APOGEE data
F. Anders, C. Chiappini, B. X. Santiago +38
We investigate the chemo-kinematic properties of the Milky Way disc by exploring the first year of data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), an…
In the thick of it: metal-poor disc stars in RAVE
G. Kordopatis, G. Gilmore, R. F. G. Wyse +17
By selecting in the RAVE-DR4 survey the stars located between 1 and 2 kpc above the Galactic plane, we question the consistency of the simplest three-component model (thin disc, th…
A new stellar chemo-kinematic relation reveals the merger history of the Milky Way disc
I. Minchev, C. Chiappini, M. Martig +27
The velocity dispersions of stars near the Sun are known to increase with stellar age, but age can be difficult to determine so a proxy like the abundance of alpha elements (e.g.,…
The RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE): Fourth data release
G. Kordopatis, G. Gilmore, M. Steinmetz +48
We present the stellar atmospheric parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, overall metallicity), radial velocities, individual abundances and distances determined for 4…
Constraints on the Galactic Bar from the Hercules stream as traced with RAVE across the Galaxy
T. Antoja, A. Helmi, W. Dehnen +20
Non-axisymmetries in the Galactic potential (spiral arms and bar) induce kinematic groups such as the Hercules stream. Assuming that Hercules is caused by the effects of the Outer…
A Vertical Resonance Heating Model for X- or Peanut-Shaped Galactic Bulges
Alice C. Quillen, Ivan Minchev, Sanjib Sharma +2
We explore a second order Hamiltonian vertical resonance model for X-shaped or peanut-shaped galactic bulges. The X-shape is caused by the 2:1 vertical Lindblad resonance with the…
