The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO Survey: The spectroscopic QSO catalogue
Scott M. Croom, Gordon T. Richards, Tom Shanks +27
We present the final spectroscopic QSO catalogue from the 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) Survey. This is a deep, 18<g<21.85 (extinction corrected), sample aimed at probing in detail…
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…
Measuring Outer Disk Warps with Optical Spectroscopy
Daniel Christlein, Joss Bland-Hawthorn
Warps in the outer gaseous disks of galaxies are a ubiquitous phenomenon, but it is unclear what generates them. One theory is that warps are generated internally through spontaneo…
Conference Summary: Magellanic System - Stars, Gas and Galaxies
J. Bland-Hawthorn, J. S. Gallagher
We provide a brief overview of some key issues that came out of the IAU 256 symposium on the Magellanic System (http://www.astro.keele.ac.uk/iaus256)
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…
Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA)
Simon P. Driver, the GAMA team
The GAMA survey aims to deliver 250,000 optical spectra (3--7Ang resolution) over 250 sq. degrees to spectroscopic limits of r_{AB} <19.8 and K_{AB}<17.0 mag. Complementary imaging…
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…
The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO survey: evolution of the clustering of luminous red galaxies since z = 0.6
David A. Wake, Ravi K. Sheth, Robert C. Nichol +17
We present an analysis of the small-to-intermediate scale clustering of samples of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLA…
The case for OH suppression at near-infrared wavelengths
S. C. Ellis, J. Bland-Hawthorn
We calculate the advances in near-infrared astronomy made possible through the use of fibre Bragg gratings to selectively remove hydroxyl emission lines from the night sky spectrum…
When is star formation episodic? A delay differential equation negative feedback model
Alice C. Quillen, Joss Bland-Hawthorn
We introduce a differential equation for star formation in galaxies that incorporates negative feedback with a delay. When the feedback is instantaneous, solutions approach a self-…
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…
