In the thick of it: metal-poor disc stars in RAVE
G. Kordopatis, G. Gilmore, R. F. G. Wyse +17
By selecting in the RAVE-DR4 survey the stars located between 1 and 2 kpc above the Galactic plane, we question the consistency of the simplest three-component model (thin disc, th…
A new stellar chemo-kinematic relation reveals the merger history of the Milky Way disc
I. Minchev, C. Chiappini, M. Martig +27
The velocity dispersions of stars near the Sun are known to increase with stellar age, but age can be difficult to determine so a proxy like the abundance of alpha elements (e.g.,…
The RAVE survey: the Galactic escape speed and the mass of the Milky Way
T. Piffl, C. Scannapieco, J. Binney +22
We construct new estimates on the Galactic escape speed at various Galactocentric radii using the latest data release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE DR4). Compared to prev…
CN Anomalies in the Halo System and the Origin of Globular Clusters in the Milky Way
Daniela Carollo, Sarah Martell, Timothy Beers +1
We explore the kinematics and orbital properties of a sample of red giants in the halo system of the Milky Way that are thought to have formed in globular clusters, based on their…
