Table information for 'rave.dr3'

General

Table Description:

The third data release of RAVE contains spectroscopic radial velocities for 83072 stars in the Milky-Way southern hemisphere using the 6dF instrument at the AAO.

This data collection has been superceded by RAVE data release 4 (table rave.dr in the data center).

Columns in the data release that resulted from crossmatching were left out.

For details, see 2011AJ....141..187S.

This table is available for ADQL queries and through the TAP endpoint.

Resource Description: The RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) contains stellar atmospheric parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, overall metallicity), radial velocities, chemical abundances and distances. Observations between 2003 and 2013 were used to build the five RAVE data releases.

Notes

• Note PM

  Source of proper motion

  0	no PM
  1	Tycho-2
  2	Supercosmos
  3	PPMX
  4	GSC1.2x2MASS
  5	UCAC-2
  6	USNO-B"

• Note ZP

  Flag value of the form FGSH, F being for the entire plate, G for the 50 fibers group to which the fiber belongs. S flags the zero-point correction used: C for cubic and S for a constant shift. If H is set to * the fiber is close to a 15 fiber gap. For F and G the values can be * A, B, C, D, or E, meaning:

  A	dispersion around correction lower than 1km/s
  B	dispersion between 1 and 2km/s
  C	dispersion between 2 and 3km/s
  D	dispersion larger than 3km/s
  E	less than 15 fibers available for the fit

• Note SQ

  qual identifies possible problems in the spectrum (values can be combined) as follows:

  a	asymmetric Ca lines
  c	cosmic ray pollution
  e	emission line spectrum
  n	noise dominated spectrum
  l	no lines visible
  w	weak lines
  g	strong ghost
  t	bad template fit
  s	strong residual sky emission
  cc	bad continuum
  r	red part of the spectrum shows problem
  b	blue part of the spectrum shows problem
  p	possible binary/doubled lined
  x	peculiar object

• Note M

  The maskflag column identifies the fraction of the spectrum unaffected by continuum problems from the MASK program. Spectra with maskflags lower than 0.70 must be used with caution.
