Gould Belt Members in X-ray RAVE: Cross-Matching RAVE Stars with 3XMM Point Sources
In this paper the results of matching the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE),
a spectroscopic Southern hemisphere survey (9 12), and
XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogue (3XMM) are presented. The latest data
releases of RAVE and XMM were matched and a X-ray RAVE catalogue of 1071 stars
was obtained. Then the catalogue was checked for possible Gould Belt (GB)
members. We obtained a subsample of 10 stars that meet the GB membership
criteria. This subsample and GB member candidates were tested photometrically
and kinematically. Among the members there are two BY Dra type variables, an
NGC2451 open cluster member, a high proper motion star. The rest are regular
main sequence stars. The members have very low velocity dispersions which lead
us to think that the members belong in a single structure. We also found out
that a kinematical GB membership test might be possible to derive given a large
enough GB member sample as they fit in a narrow interval in space velocity
diagrams.Comment: Accepted by Astrophysics and Space Scienc
Identification of field dwarfs and giants in the second Radial Velocity Experiment Data Release
The second Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) Data Release (DR2) derives log g values. However, we present a simpler and cleaner method of identifying dwarfs and giants by using only magnitudes, which does not require spectroscopic analysis. We confirm the method presented in an earlier paper, with which we estimate the number of dwarfs and giants using their positions in the J–V two-magnitude diagram, by applying it to RAVE DR2. It is effective in estimating the number of dwarfs and giants at J–H > 0.4 compared to RAVE’s log g values. For J–H≤ 0.4, where dwarfs and subgiants show a continuous transition in the J magnitude histogram, we used the Besançon Galaxy model predictions to statistically isolate giants. The percentages of giants for red stars and for the whole sample are 85 and 34 per cent, respectively. If we add the subgiants, the percentage of evolved stars for the whole sample increases to 59 per cent. For the first time in the literature, we have analysed the effect of CHISQ on RAVE’s log g values (CHISQ is the penalized χ2 from RAVE’s technique of finding an optimal match between the observed spectrum and synthetic spectra to derive stellar parameters). Neither the CHISQ values nor the signal-to-noise ratio bias the RAVE log g values. Therefore, the method of identifying dwarfs and giants using the two-magnitude diagram has been verified against an unbiased data set
Local stellar kinematics from RAVE data: III. Radial and Vertical Metallicity Gradients based on Red Clump Stars
We investigate radial and vertical metallicity gradients for a sample of red
clump stars from the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) Data Release 3. We
select a total of 6781 stars, using a selection of colour, surface gravity and
uncertainty in the derived space motion, and calculate for each star a
probabilistic (kinematic) population assignment to a thin or thick disc using
space motion and additionally another (dynamical) assignment using stellar
vertical orbital eccentricity. We derive almost equal metallicity gradients as
a function of Galactocentric distance for the high probability thin disc stars
and for stars with vertical orbital eccentricities consistent with being
dynamically young, e_v<=0.07, i.e. d[M/H]/dR_m = -0.041(0.003) and d[M/H]/dR_m
= -0.041(0.007) dex/kpc. Metallicity gradients as a function of distance from
the Galactic plane for the same populations are steeper, i.e. d[M/H]/dz_{max} =
-0.109(0.008) and d[M/H]/dz_{max} = -0.260(0.031) dex/kpc, respectively. R_m
and z_{max} are the arithmetic mean of the perigalactic and apogalactic
distances, and the maximum distance to the Galactic plane, respectively.
Samples including more thick disc red clump giant stars show systematically
shallower abundance gradients. These findings can be used to distinguish
between different formation scenarios of the thick and thin discs.Comment: 27 pages, including 15 figures and 4 tables, accepted for publication

The asymmetric drift, the local standard of rest, and implications from RAVE data
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 matter of debate. The classical value of the tangential peculiar motion of the Sun with respect to the LSR was challenged in recent years, claiming a significantly larger value.
Aims. We present an improved Jeans analysis, which allows a better interpretation of the measured kinematics of stellar populations in the Milky Way disc. We show that the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) sample of dwarf stars is an excellent data set to derive tighter boundary conditions to chemodynamical evolution models of the extended solar neighbourhood.
Methods. We propose an improved version of the Stromberg relation with the radial scalelengths as the only unknown. We redetermine the asymmetric drift and the LSR for dwarf stars based on RAVE data. Additionally, we discuss the impact of adopting a different LSR value on the individual scalelengths of the subpopulations.
Results. Binning RAVE stars in metallicity reveals a bigger asymmetric drift (corresponding to a smaller radial scalelength) for more metal-rich populations. With the standard assumption of velocity-dispersion independent radial scalelengths in each metallicity bin, we redetermine the LSR. The new Stromberg equation yields a joint LSR value of V-circle dot = 3.06 +/- 0.68 km s(-1), which is even smaller than the classical value based on Hipparcos data. The corresponding radial scalelength increases from 1.6 kpc for the metal-rich bin to 2.9 kpc for the metal-poor bin, with a trend of an even larger scalelength for young metal-poor stars. When adopting the recent Schonrich value of V-circle dot = 12.24 km s(-1) for the LSR, the new Stromberg equation yields much larger individual radial scalelengths of the RAVE subpopulations, which seem unphysical in part.
Conclusions. The new Stromberg equation allows a cleaner interpretation of the kinematic data of disc stars in terms of radial scalelengths. Lifting the LSR value by a few km s(-1) compared to the classical value results in strongly increased radial scalelengths with a trend of smaller values for larger velocity dispersions
SDSS Absolute Magnitudes for Thin Disc Stars based on Trigonometric Parallaxes
We present a new luminosity-colour relation based on trigonometric parallaxes
for thin disc main-sequence stars in SDSS photometry. We matched stars from the
newly reduced Hipparcos catalogue with the ones taken from 2MASS All-Sky
Catalogue of Point Sources, and applied a series of constraints, i.e. relative
parallax errors (), metallicity
( dex), age ( Gyr) and surface gravity
(), and obtained a sample of thin disc main-sequence stars. Then, we
used our previous transformation equations (Bilir et al. 2008a) between SDSS
and 2MASS photometries and calibrated the absolute magnitudes to the
and colours. The transformation formulae between 2MASS
and SDSS photometries along with the absolute magnitude calibration provide
space densities for bright stars which saturate the SDSS magnitudes.Comment: 7 pages, including 7 figures and 2 tables, accepted for publication

Transformations between WISE, 2MASS, SDSS and BVRI photometric systems: I. Transformation equations for dwarfs
We present colour transformations for the conversion of the W1 and W2
magnitudes of WISE photometric system to the Johnson-Cousins' BVRI, SDSS (gri),
and 2MASS (JHK_s) photometric systems, for dwarfs. The W3 and W4 magnitudes
were not considered due to their insufficient signal to noise ratio (S/N). The
coordinates of 825 dwarfs along with their BVRI, gri, and JHK_s data, taken
from Bilir et al. (2008) were matched with the coordinates of stars in the
preliminary data release of WISE (Wright et al., 2010) and a homogeneous dwarf
sample with high S/N ratio have been obtained using the following constraints:
1) the data were dereddened, 2) giants were identified and excluded from the
sample, 3) sample stars were selected according to data quality, 4)
transformations were derived for sub samples of different metallicity range,
and 5) transformations are two colour dependent. These colour transformations,
coupled with known absolute magnitudes at shorter wavelenghts, can be used in
space density evaluation for the Galactic (thin and thick) discs, at distances
larger than the ones evaluated with JHK_s photometry.Comment: 16 pages, including 5 figures and 7 tables, accepted for publication

Luminosity-Colours relations for thin disc main-sequence stars
In this study we present the absolute magnitude calibrations of thin disc
main-sequence stars in the optical (), and in the near-infrared
(). Thin disc stars are identified by means of Padova isochrones, and
absolute magnitudes for the sample are evaluated via the newly reduced
Hipparcos data. The obtained calibrations cover a large range of spectral
types: from A0 to M4 in the optical and from A0 to M0 in the near-infrared.
Also, we discuss the of effects binary stars and evolved stars on the absolute
magnitude calibrations. The usage of these calibrations can be extended to the
estimation of galactic model parameters for the thin disc individually, in
order to compare these parameters with the corresponding ones estimated by
statistics (which provides galactic model parameters for thin
and thick discs, and halo simultaneously) to test any degeneracy between them.
The calibrations can also be used in other astrophysical researches where
distance plays an important role in that study.Comment: 8 pages, including 12 figures and 4 tables, accepted for publication

A Test for Radial Mixing Using Local Star Samples
We use samples of local main-sequence stars to show that the radial gradient
of [Fe/H] in the thin disk of the Milky Way decreases with mean effective
stellar temperature. Many of these stars are visiting the solar neighborhood
from the inner and outer Galaxy. We use the angular momentum of each star about
the Galactic center to determine the guiding center radius and to eliminate the
effects of epicyclic motion, which would otherwise blur the estimated
gradients. We interpret the effective temperature as a proxy for mean age, and
conclude that the decreasing gradient is consistent with the predictions of
radial mixing due to transient spiral patterns. We find some evidence that the
trend of decreasing gradient with increasing mean age breaks to a constant
gradient for samples of stars whose main-sequence life-times exceed the likely
age of the thin disk.Comment: Accepted to appear in ApJ, 8 pages, 8 figure
CCD BV and 2MASS photometric study of the open cluster NGC 1513
We present CCD BV and JHK 2MASS photometric data for the open cluster
NGC 1513. We observed 609 stars in the direction of the cluster up to a
limiting magnitude of mag. The star count method shows that the
centre of the cluster lies at ,
and its angular size is arcmin.
The optical and near-infrared two-colour diagrams reveal the colour excesses in
the direction of the cluster as , and
mag. These results are consistent with normal
interstellar extinction values. Optical and near-infrared Zero Age
Main-Sequences (ZAMS) provided an average distance modulus of
mag, which can be translated into a distance of
pc. Finally, using Padova isochrones we determined the metallicity
and age of the cluster as ( dex) and
, respectively.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures and 4 tables, accepted for publication in
