The local stellar luminosity function and mass-to-light ratio in the NIR
A. Just, B. Fuchs, H. Jahreiss +3
A new sample of stars, representative of the solar neighbourhood luminosity function, is constructed from the Hipparcos catalogue and the Fifth Catalogue of Nearby Stars. We have c…
Classification of field dwarfs and giants in RAVE and its use in stellar stream detection
Rainer J. Klement, Coryn A. L. Bailer-Jones, Burkhard Fuchs +2
An efficient separation between dwarfs and giants in surveys of bright stars is important, especially for studies in which distances are estimated through photometric parallax rela…
A Schmidt-Kennicutt law for star formation in the Milky Way disk
B. Fuchs, H. Jahreiss, C. Flynn
We use a new method to trace backwards the star formation history of the Milky Way disk, using a sample of M dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood which is representative for the entir…
Identifying stellar streams in the 1st RAVE public data release
Rainer Klement, Burkhard Fuchs, Hans-Walter Rix
We searched for and detected stellar streams or moving groups in the solar neighbourhood, using the data provided by the 1st RAVE public data release. This analysis is based on dis…
Dynamical Friction on extended perturbers
O. Esquivel, B. Fuchs
Following a wave-mechanical treatment we calculate the drag force exerted by an infinite homogeneous background of stars on a perturber as this makes its way through the system. We…
Signatures of star streams in the phase space distribution of nearby halo stars
C. Dettbarn, B. Fuchs, C. Flynn +1
We have analyzed the phase space distribution of a sample of about 900 non--kinematically selected low metallicity stars in the solar vicinity. The stars primarily represent the th…
