Testing the mond formula in the Galaxy

EAS Publications Series 20 (2006) 277-278

Authors:

B Famaey, J Binney

Abstract:

The inner Galaxy is completely dominated by baryons, contrary to the predictions of CDM cosmology, whilst the observations are compatible with MOND if the local circular speed is smaller than 220 kms-1 and the asymptotic circular velocity close to 170 km s-1. © EAS, EDP Sciences 2006.

Abstract:

We present the first data release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), an ambitious spectroscopic survey to measure radial velocities and stellar atmosphere parameters (temperature, metallicity, surface gravity) of up to one million stars using the 6dF multi-object spectrograph on the 1.2-m UK Schmidt Telescope of the Anglo-Australian Observatory (AAO). The RAVE program started in 2003, obtaining medium resolution spectra (median R=7,500) in the Ca-triplet region ($\lambda\lambda$ 8,410--8,795 \AA) for southern hemisphere stars drawn from the Tycho-2 and SuperCOSMOS catalogs, in the magnitude range 9
