Table information for 'rave.dr2'

General

Table Description:

The second data release of RAVE contains spectroscopic radial velocities for 49327 stars in the Milky-Way southern hemisphere using the 6dF instrument at the AAO. Stellar parameters are published for a set of 21121 stars belonging to the second year of observation.

This data collection has been superceded by RAVE data release 3 (table rave.dr in the data center).

The data published here comprises all original RAVE data. Columns in the data release that resulted from crossmatching were left out.

For details, see 2008MNRAS.391..793S.

This table is available for ADQL queries and through the TAP endpoint.

Resource Description: The RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) contains stellar atmospheric parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, overall metallicity), radial velocities, chemical abundances and distances. Observations between 2003 and 2013 were used to build the five RAVE data releases.
