Estimation of the tilt of the stellar velocity ellipsoid from RAVE and implications for mass models

Estimation of the tilt of the stellar velocity ellipsoid from RAVE and implications for mass models

We present a measure of the inclination of the velocity ellipsoid at 1 kpc below the Galactic plane using a sample of red clump giants from the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) Data Release 2. We find that the velocity ellipsoid is tilted towards the Galactic plane with an inclination of …
