The Tilt of the Velocity Ellipsoid of Different Galactic Disk Populations
The tilt of the velocity ellipsoid is a helpful tracer of the gravitational potential of the Milky Way. In this paper, we use nearly 140,000 red clump (RC) stars selected from LAMOST and Gaia to make a detailed analysis of the tilt of the velocity ellipsoid for various populations, as defined by ste...
