TL;DR
This paper introduces the first data release of the RAVE chemical catalogue, providing elemental abundances for over 36,000 stars from a large spectroscopic survey, enhancing our understanding of Galactic chemical composition.
Contribution
It presents a new large-scale chemical abundance dataset for stars observed by RAVE, including a detailed processing pipeline and initial elemental measurements for key elements.
Findings
Chemical abundances for 7 elements with ~0.2 dex accuracy.
Spectroscopic data covering 36,561 stars at high Galactic latitudes.
A dedicated pipeline for spectral analysis and abundance estimation.
Abstract
We present chemical elemental abundances for stars observed by the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), an ambitious spectroscopic survey of our Galaxy at Galactic latitudes b and with magnitudes in the range 913. RAVE spectra cover the Ca-triplet region at 8410--8795\AA\ with resolving power R7500. This first data release of the RAVE chemical catalogue is complementary to the third RAVE data release of radial velocities and stellar parameters, and it contains chemical abundances for the elements Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, Fe and Ni, with a mean error of 0.2 dex, as judged from accuracy tests performed on synthetic and real spectra. Abundances are estimated through a dedicated processing pipeline in which the curve of growth of individual lines is obtained from a library of absorption-line equivalent widths to construct a model spectrum that is…
