Chemo-kinematic constraints on Milky Way models from the spectroscopic surveys SEGUE & RAVE
… namely the “Radial Velocity Experiment” (RAVE) and the “Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration” (SEGUE). In the first approach the chemo-kinematic properties of the thin and thick disk of the Galaxy as traced by a selection of about 20000 SEGUE G-dwarf stars are …

Subcultures, the Media and the Law: The Creation and Mystification of the Rave Scene
This study examines how rave subculture is constructed differently by participants of the rave scene and by external observers of the rave scene. Mainstream national media articles are compared to interviews with self-identified ravers to understand how rave subculture is constructed. Subcultural …

Chemical gradients in the Milky Way from unsupervised chemical abundances measurements of the RAVE spectroscopic data set
… evolved within the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) with the goal of measuring chemical abundances from the RAVE spectra and exploit them to investigate the chemical gradients along the plane of the Galaxy to provide constraints on possible Galactic formation scenarios. RAVE is a large …
