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 and Binney (2010) for the determination of stellar distances and parameters to the internal catalogue of the Radial Velocity Experiment (Steinmetz et al. 2006). Subsamples of stars that either have Hipparcos parallaxes or belong to well-studied clusters, inspire confid...
