The asymmetric drift, the local standard of rest, and implications from RAVE data

Golubov, O.; Just, A.; Bienayme, O.; Bland-Hawthorn, J.; Gibson, Brad K.; Grebel, E. K.; Munari, U.; Navarro, J. F.; Parker, Q.; Seabroke, G. (EDP Sciences, 2013-09)

Context. The determination of the local standard of rest (LSR), which corresponds to the measurement of the peculiar motion of the Sun based on the derivation of the asymmetric drift of stellar populations, is still a ...
The properties of the local spiral arms from RAVE data: two-dimensional density wave approach

Siebert, A.; Famaey, B.; Binney, J.; Burnett, B.; Faure, C.; Minchev, I.; Williams, M. E. K.; Bienayme, O.; Bland-Hawthorn, J.; Boeche, C.; Gibson, Brad K. (Oxford University Press, 2012-09)

Using the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) survey, we recently brought to light a gradient in the mean galactocentric radial velocity of stars in the extended solar neighbourhood. This gradient likely originates from ...
