The Long Tails of the Pegasus-Pisces Arch Intermediate Velocity Cloud

R. L. Shelton, M. E. Williams, M. C. Parker +3

We present hydrodynamic simulations of the Pegasus-Pisces (PP Arch), an intermediate velocity cloud in our Galaxy. The PP Arch, also known as IVC 86-36, is unique among intermediat…

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.,…

A RAVE Investigation on Galactic open Clusters I. Radial velocities and metallicities

C. Conrad, R. -D. Scholz, N. V. Kharchenko +25

Context. Galactic open clusters (OCs) mainly belong to the young stellar population in the Milky Way disk, but are there groups and complexes of OCs that possibly define an additio…

The RAVE survey: the Galactic escape speed and the mass of the Milky Way

T. Piffl, C. Scannapieco, J. Binney +22

We construct new estimates on the Galactic escape speed at various Galactocentric radii using the latest data release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE DR4). Compared to prev…

The relation between chemical abundances and kinematics of the Galactic disc with RAVE

C. Boeche, C. Chiappini, I. Minchev +20

Aims: We study the relations between stellar kinematics and chemical abundances of a large sample of RAVE giants in search for selection criteria needed for disentangling different…

Kinematic groups beyond the Solar neighbourhood with RAVE

T. Antoja, A. Helmi, O. Bienayme +18

We analyse the kinematics of disc stars observed by the RAVE survey in and beyond the Solar neighbourhood.We detect significant overdensities in the velocity distributions using a…
