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…
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…
Cosmic Ménage à Trois: The Origin of Satellite Galaxies On Extreme Orbits
L. V. Sales, J. F. Navarro, M. G. Abadi +1
We examine the orbits of satellite galaxies identified in a suite of N-body/gasdynamical simulations of the formation of galaxies in a LCDM universe. Most satellites follow c…
