Distance determination for RAVE stars using stellar models - III. The nature of the RAVE survey and Milky Way chemistry

Distance determination for RAVE stars using stellar models - III. The nature of the RAVE survey and Milky Way chemistry

We apply the method of Burnett & Binney (2010, MNRAS, 407, 339) for the determination of stellar distances and parameters to the internal catalogue of the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE; Steinmetz et al. 2006, AJ, 132, 1645). Subsamples of stars that either have Hipparcos parallaxes or belong to well-studied clusters …
