The R-Process Alliance: First Release from the Northern Search for r-Process Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars in the Galactic Halo

Charli M. Sakari, Vinicius M. Placco, Elizabeth M. Farrell +26

This paper presents the detailed abundances and r-process classifications of 126 newly identified metal-poor stars as part of an ongoing collaboration, the R-Process Alliance. The…

The AMBRE Project: searching for the closest solar siblings

V. Adibekyan, P. de Laverny, A. Recio-Blanco +7

Finding solar siblings, that is, stars that formed in the same cluster as the Sun, will yield information about the conditions at the Sun's birthplace. We search for solar sibling…

Local disc model in view of Gaia DR1 and RAVE data

K. Sysoliatina, A. Just, I. Koutsouridou +8

We test the performance of the semi-analytic self-consistent Just-Jahreiß disc model (JJ model) with the astrometric data from the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) sub-catalo…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: the origin and evolution of s-process elements

L. Magrini, L. Spina, S. Randich +45

Several works have found an increase of the abundances of the s-process neutron-capture elements in the youngest Galactic stellar populations, giving important constraints to stell…

Gaia Data Release 2. Summary of the contents and survey properties

Gaia Collaboration, A. G. A. Brown, A. Vallenari +4

We present the second Gaia data release, Gaia DR2, consisting of astrometry, photometry, radial velocities, and information on astrophysical parameters and variability, for sources…

Coma Berenices: first evidence for incomplete vertical phase-mixing in local velocity space with RAVE - confirmed with Gaia DR2

G. Monari, B. Famaey, I. Minchev +15

Before the publication of the Gaia DR2 we confirmed with RAVE and TGAS an observation recently made with the GALAH survey by Quillen ey al. concerning the Coma Berenices moving gro…

Spectroscopic Validation of Low-Metallicity Stars from RAVE

Vinicius M. Placco, Timothy C. Beers, Rafael M. Santucci +16

We present results from a medium-resolution (R ~ 2, 000) spectroscopic follow-up campaign of 1,694 bright (V < 13.5), very metal-poor star candidates from the RAdial Velocity Exper…

Gaia Data Release 2. Short-timescale variability processing and analysis

M. Roelens, L. Eyer, N. Mowlavi +13

The Gaia DR2 sample of short-timescale variable candidates results from the investigation of the first 22 months of Gaia photometry for a subsample of sources at the Gaia faint end…

Gaia Data Release 2: Observations of solar system objects

Gaia Collaboration, F. Spoto, P. Tanga +4

The Gaia spacecraft of the European Space Agency (ESA) has been securing observations of solar system objects (SSOs) since the beginning of its operations. Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2…

Gaia Data Release 2: first stellar parameters from Apsis

Rene Andrae, Morgan Fouesneau, Orlagh Creevey +13

The second Gaia data release (Gaia-DR2) contains, beyond the astrometry, three-band photometry for 1.38 billion sources. We have used these three broad bands to infer stellar effec…

Gaia Data Release 2: Properties and validation of the radial velocities

D. Katz, P. Sartoretti, M. Cropper +51

For Gaia DR2 (GDR2), 280 million spectra, collected by the RVS instrument on-board Gaia, were processed and median radial velocities were derived for 9.8 million sources brighter t…

Correlations between age, kinematics, and chemistry as seen by the RAVE survey

Jennifer Wojno, Georges Kordopatis, Matthias Steinmetz +20

We explore the connections between stellar age, chemistry, and kinematics across a Galactocentric distance of , using a sample of inte…

Gaia Data Release 2: Photometric content and validation

D. W. Evans, M. Riello, F. De Angeli +9

Aims. We describe the photometric content of the second data release of the Gaia project (Gaia DR2) and its validation along with the quality of the data. Methods. The validation w…

Estimating stellar birth radii and the time evolution of the Milky Way's ISM metallicity gradient

I. Minchev, F. Anders, A. Recio-Blanco +14

We present a semi-empirical, largely model-independent approach for estimating Galactic birth radii, r_birth, for Milky Way disk stars. The technique relies on the justifiable assu…

The local rotation curve of the Milky Way based on SEGUE and RAVE data

K. Sysoliatina, A. Just, O. Golubov +13

We construct the rotation curve of the Milky Way in the extended solar neighbourhood using a sample of SEGUE (Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration) G-dwarfs.…
