• rave.dr2 – queryable through TAP and ADQL

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  This data collection has been superceded by RAVE data release 3 (table rave.dr in the data center).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

• rave.dr3 – queryable through TAP and ADQL

  The third data release of RAVE contains spectroscopic radial velocities for 83072 stars in the Milky-Way southern hemisphere using the 6dF instrument at the AAO.

  This data collection has been superceded by RAVE data release 4 (table rave.dr in the data center).

  Columns in the data release that resulted from crossmatching were left out.

  For details, see 2011AJ....141..187S.

• rave.dr4 – queryable through TAP and ADQL

  The RAVE object catalog, data release 4.

  Note that columns with names ending in _k originate from the stellar parameters pipeline, those with names ending in _c come from the chemical pipeline, those with name ending in _sparv come from the radial velocity pipeline. Names ending in _n_k indicate calibrated values.

• rave.main – queryable through TAP and ADQL

  The RAVE object catalog of radial velocities, surface gravities, and chemical parameters for about 500000 stars, data release 5. We have removed almost all fields originating from crossmatches (as this is intended for use within our TAP service, where users can do the crossmatches themselves). Also, some obviously buggy columns (e.g., footprint_flag) were dropped.

  Note that columns with names ending in _k originate from the stellar parameters pipeline, those with names ending in _c come from the chemical pipeline. Columns ending in _n_k indicate calibrated values.
