Global survey of star clusters in the Milky Way VI. Age distribution and cluster formation history
A. E. Piskunov, A. Just, N. V. Kharchenko +4
The all-sky Milky Way Star Clusters (MWSC) survey provides uniform and precise ages and other parameters for a variety of clusters in the Solar Neighbourhood. We construct the clus…
Identification of Globular Cluster Stars in RAVE data I: Application to Stellar Parameter Calibration
B. Anguiano, D. B. Zucker, R. -D. Scholz +22
We present the identification of potential members of nearby Galactic globular clusters using radial velocities from the RAdial Velocity Experiment Data Release 4 (RAVE-DR4) survey…
Characterizing the High-Velocity Stars of RAVE: The Discovery of a Metal-Rich Halo Star Born in the Galactic Disk
K. Hawkins, G. Kordopatis, G. Gilmore +21
We aim to characterize high-velocity (HiVel) stars in the solar vicinity both chemically and kinematically using the fourth data release of the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE). W…
Global survey of star clusters in the Milky Way III. 139 new open clusters at high Galactic latitudes
S. Schmeja, N. V. Kharchenko, A. E. Piskunov +4
An earlier analysis of the Milky Way Star Cluster (MWSC) catalogue revealed an apparent lack of old (> 1 Gyr) open clusters in the solar neighbourhood (< 1 kpc). To fill this gap w…
Unusual quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey selected by means of Kohonen self-organising maps
H. Meusinger, P. Schalldach, R. -D. Scholz +4
We exploit the spectral archive of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 to select unusual quasar spectra. The selection method is based on a combination of the power…
A deep all-sky census of the Hyades
S. Roeser, E. Schilbach, A. E. Piskunov +2
On the basis of the PPMXL catalogue we perform an all-sky census of the Hyades down to masses of about 0.2 m_sun in a region up to 30 pc from the cluster centre. We use the proper…
