The Dawning of the Stream of Aquarius in RAVE
Mary E. K. Williams, Matthias Steinmetz, Sanjib Sharma +22
We identify a new, nearby (0.5 < d < 10 kpc) stream in data from the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE). As the majority of stars in the stream lie in the constellation of Aquarius…
Detection of a radial velocity gradient in the extended local disc with RAVE
A. Siebert, B. Famaey, I. Minchev +22
Using a sample of 213,713 stars from the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) survey, limited to a distance of 2 kpc from the Sun and to |z|<1 kpc, we report the detection of a veloci…
Local Stellar Kinematics from RAVE Data: I. Local Standard of Rest
B. Coskunoglu, S. Ak, S. Bilir +19
We analyze a sample of 82850 stars from the RAVE survey, with well-determined velocities and stellar parameters, to isolate a sample of 18026 high-probability thin-disc dwarfs with…
Through Thick and Thin: Kinematic and Chemical Components in the Solar Neighbourhood
Julio F. Navarro, Mario G. Abadi, Kim A. Venn +2
We search for the existence of chemically-distinct stellar components in the solar neighbourhood using published data. Extending earlier work, we show that when the abundances of F…
Testing formation mechanisms of the Milky Way's thick disc with RAVE
Michelle Wilson, Amina Helmi, H. L. Morrison +21
We study the eccentricity distribution of a thick disc sample of stars observed in the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) and compare it to that expected in four simulations of thic…
A search for new members of the beta Pic, Tuc-Hor and epsilon Cha moving groups in the RAVE database
L. L. Kiss, A. Moor, T. Szalai +24
We report on the discovery of new members of nearby young moving groups, exploiting the full power of combining the RAVE survey with several stellar age diagnostic methods and foll…
Origins of the Thick Disk as Traced by the Alpha-Elements of Metal-Poor Giant Stars Selected from RAVE
G. R. Ruchti, J. P. Fulbright, R. F. G. Wyse +20
Theories of thick disk formation can be differentiated by measurements of stellar elemental abundances. We have undertaken a study of metal-poor stars selected from the RAVE spectr…
Distance determination for RAVE stars using stellar models II: Most likely values assuming a standard stellar evolution scenario
T. Zwitter, G. Matijevič, M. A. Breddels +23
The RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) is a spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way. We use the subsample of spectra with spectroscopically determined values of stellar parameters to…
Double-lined Spectroscopic Binary Stars in the Radial Velocity Experiment Survey
G. Matijevic, T. Zwitter, U. Munari +19
We devise a new method for the detection of double-lined binary stars in a sample of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) survey spectra. The method is both tested against extensi…
The Sphericalization of Dark Matter Halos by Galaxy Disks
Stelios Kazantzidis, Mario G. Abadi, Julio F. Navarro
Cosmological simulations indicate that cold dark matter (CDM) halos should be triaxial. Verifying observationally this theoretical prediction is, however, less than straightforward…
Distance determination for RAVE stars using stellar models
M. A. Breddels, M. C. Smith, A. Helmi +21
(Abridged) Aims:We develop a method for deriving distances from spectroscopic data and obtaining full 6D phase-space coordinates for the RAVE survey's second data release. Methods:…
Secondary Infall and the Pseudo-Phase-Space Density Profiles of Cold Dark Matter Halos
Aaron D. Ludlow, Julio F. Navarro, Volker Springel +5
We use N-body simulations to investigate the radial dependence of the density and velocity dispersion in cold dark matter (CDM) halos. In particular, we explore how closely Q rho/s…
