Estimation of the Tilt of the Stellar Velocity Ellipsoid from RAVE and Implications for Mass Models
A. Siebert, O. Bienaymé, J. Binney +16
We present a measure of the inclination of the velocity ellipsoid at 1 kpc below the Galactic plane using a sample of red clump giants from the RAVE DR2 release. We find that the v…
Diffuse interstellar bands in RAVE Survey spectra
U. Munari, L. Tomasella, M. Fiorucci +19
We have used spectra of hot stars from the RAVE Survey in order to investigate the visibility and properties of five diffuse interstellar bands previously reported in the literatur…
The Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE): second data release
T. Zwitter, A. Siebert, U. Munari +51
We present the second data release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), an ambitious spectroscopic survey to measure radial velocities (RVs) and stellar atmosphere parameters…
What is a galaxy? How Cold is Cold Dark Matter? Recent progress in Near Field Cosmology
Gerard Gilmore, Dan Zucker, Mark Wilkinson +6
There has been a vast recent improvement in photometric and kinematic data for star clusters, Ultra Compact dwarfs, galactic nuclei, and local dSph galaxies, with Subaru contributi…
Complexity on Small Scales III: Iron and alpha Element Abundances in the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
A. Koch, E. K. Grebel, G. F. Gilmore +5
We have obtained high-resolution spectroscopy of ten red giants in the Carina dwarf spheroidal (dSph) with UVES at the ESO/VLT. Here we present the abundances of O,Na,Mg,Si,Ca,Ti a…
Galactic kinematics with RAVE data: I. The distribution of stars towards the Galactic poles
L. Veltz, O. Bienaymé, K. C. Freeman +16
We analyze the distribution of G and K type stars towards the Galactic poles using RAVE and ELODIE radial velocities, 2MASS photometric star counts, and UCAC2 proper motions. The c…
