The surface mass density in the solar neighbourhood using red clumps stars in TGASxRAVE
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 August 2018
Abstract
We investigate the kinematics of red clump stars in the Solar neighbourhood by combining data from the RAVE survey with the TGAS dataset presented in Gaia DR1. Our goal is to put new constraints on the (local) distribution of mass using the Jeans Equations. Here we show the variation of the vertical velocity dispersion as function of height above the mid-plane for both a thin and a thick disk tracer sample and present preliminary results.
