The detection and treatment of distance errors in kinematic analyses of stars
Ralph Schoenrich, James Binney, Martin Asplund
We present a new method for detecting and correcting systematic errors in the distances to stars when both proper motions and line-of-sight velocities are available. The method, wh…
Accretion by the Galaxy
James Binney, Filippo Fraternali
Cosmology requires at least half of the baryons in the Universe to be in the intergalactic medium, much of which is believed to form hot coronae around galaxies. Star-forming galax…
A new formula for disc kinematics
Ralph Schoenrich, James Binney
In a disc galaxy the distribution of azimuthal components of velocity is very skew. In the past this skewness has been modelled by superposed Gaussians. We use dynamical arguments…
Supernova-driven gas accretion in the Milky Way
A. Marasco, F. Fraternali, J. J. Binney
We use a model of the Galactic fountain to simulate the neutral-hydrogen emission of the Milky Way Galaxy. The model was developed to account for data on external galaxies with sen…
Analysing surveys of our Galaxy I: basic astrometric data
Paul J. McMillan, James Binney
We consider what is the best way to extract science from large surveys of the Milky Way galaxy. The diversity of data gathered in these surveys, together with our position within t…
Distance determination for RAVE stars using stellar models III: The nature of the RAVE survey and Milky Way chemistry
B. Burnett, J. Binney, S. Sharma +19
We apply the method of Burnett & Binney (2010) for the determination of stellar distances and parameters to the internal catalogue of the Radial Velocity Experiment (Steinmetz et a…
The RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE): Third Data Release
A. Siebert, M. E. K. Williams, A. Siviero +36
We present the third data release of the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) which is the first milestone of the RAVE project, releasing the full pilot survey. The catalog contains 8…
Extracting science from surveys of our Galaxy
James Binney
Our knowledge of the Galaxy is being revolutionised by a series of photometric, spectroscopic and astrometric surveys. Already an enormous body of data is available from completed…
Galactic fountains and the rotation of disc-galaxy coronae
F. Marinacci, F. Fraternali, C. Nipoti +3
In galaxies like the Milky Way, cold (~ 10^4 K) gas ejected from the disc by stellar activity (the so-called galactic-fountain gas) is expected to interact with the virial-temperat…
Galaxia: a code to generate a synthetic survey of the Milky Way
Sanjib Sharma, Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Kathryn V. Johnston +1
We present here a fast code for creating a synthetic survey of the Milky Way. Given one or more color-magnitude bounds, a survey size and geometry, the code returns a catalog of st…
Models of our Galaxy II
James Binney, Paul McMillan
Stars near the Sun oscillate both horizontally and vertically. In Paper I the coupling between these motions was modelled by determining the horizontal motion without reference to…
