The asymmetric drift, the local standard of rest, and implications from RAVE data
The asymmetric drift, the local standard of rest, and implications from RAVE data
The determination of the LSR 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. We show that the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) sample of dwarf stars is …
