Kinematics of Stellar Populations with RAVE Data
Yüksel Karatas, Rainer J. Klement
We study the kinematics of the Galactic thin and thick disk populations using stars from the RAVE survey's second data release together with distance estimates from Breddels et al.…
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…
Observational Evidence from SDSS for a Merger Origin of the Milky Way's Thick Disk
Marion Dierickx, Rainer J. Klement, Hans-Walter Rix +1
We test competing models that aim at explaining the nature of stars in the Milky Way that are well away (|z| 1kpc) from the midplane, the so-called thick disk: the stars m…
Photometric identification of blue horizontal branch stars
Kester W. Smith, Coryn A. L. Bailer-Jones, Rainer J. Klement +1
We investigate the performance of some common machine learning techniques in identifying BHB stars from photometric data. To train the machine learning algorithms, we use previousl…
Stellar halo streams in the Solar neighbourhood
Rainer J. Klement
The phase-space structure of our Galaxy holds the key to understand and reconstruct its formation. The Lambda-CDM model predicts a richly structured phase-space distribution of dar…
Halo streams in the 7th SDSS data release
R. Klement, H. -W. Rix, C. Flynn +13
We have detected stellar halo streams in the solar neighborhood using data from the 7th public data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), which includes the directed stel…
