Non-isothermal vertical distribution functions for the Milky Way
Maria Djurić, Ralph Schönrich
The vertical structure of our Galaxy has commonly been assumed to follow a pseudo-isothermal distribution. However, there is no \textit{a priori} reason to expect this form to aris…
The small boxy/peanut structure of the Milky Way traced by old stars
Marcin Semczuk, Walter Dehnen, Ralph Schoenrich +1
We analyse the positions of RR Lyrae stars in the central region of the Milky Way. In addition to the overall bar shape detected previously, we find evidence for a peanut shaped st…
New constraints on the chemical evolution of the solar neighbourhood and Galactic disc(s). Improved astrophysical parameters for the Geneva-Copenhagen Survey
Luca Casagrande, Ralph Schoenrich, Martin Asplund +5
We present a re-analysis of the Geneva-Copenhagen survey, which benefits from the infrared flux method to improve the accuracy of the derived stellar effective temperatures and use…
