The RAVE survey: the Galactic escape speed and the mass of the Milky Way

The RAVE survey: the Galactic escape speed and the mass of the Milky Way

We construct new estimates on the Galactic escape speed at various Galactocentric radii using the latest data release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE DR4). Compared to previous studies we have a database larger by a factor of 10 as well as reliable distance estimates for almost all stars. Ou...
