•Vφ is shifted and has asymmetric
distribution
•Cause of asymmetric drift
– More stars with small L (exponential disc)
– Stars with small L are hotter (larger σ) so more likely on elliptical orbits.
– In elliptical orbit most time spent at apogee so at large R>R

•L is angular momentum,
•ER=E-E
c(L)
is the energy in excess of that required for circular
motion with a given L.•Naturally handles asymmetric distribution.•Note vertical and planar motion are decoupled, potential separable in Φ(R,z)=Φ(R)+Φ(z).

The vertical dependence of kinematics

Circular velocity profile The circular velocity can have both radial and vertical dependence.
vc(R,z)=[v
0+α
R(R-R
☉ )] [ 1/(1+αz(z/kpc)1.34) ]
Two popular models of Milky Way's 3D potential DB98 and LM10 shown below, have αz ~ 0.0374
In reality vertical motion is coupled to planar motion, so asymmetric drift also has a dependence on z. We incorporate it into αz.
We expect αz
> 0.0374

Kinematic analysis using RAVE and GCS
GCS: A color magnitude limited sample of stars with (x,v). Very local 120 pc. (about 5000 stars)
RAVE a spectroscopic survey of about 500,000 stars with accurate, (l,b,v
los). 1- 2kpc

Questions? Is the Gaussian model correct? What are the correlations between different
parameters? Does GCS and RAVE give similar values? What are U☉,V☉,W☉, v

Proper motion of Sgr A* vc , V☉ and R☉ are difficult to measure but
Sgr A* at the center of galaxy, 8 yr baseline Ω☉=(vc+V ☉ )/R ☉ ~ 30.24 km/s/kpc (Reid & Brunthaler
2004). For R☉=8.0 kpc, (vc+V☉) ~ 242 km/s
Recently Bovy using APOGEE data find,
– vc=218 (+- 6) km/s, V ☉ = 26 (+- 3) km/s,
– Rσ
thin negative.
– Since local V ☉ ~ 10 km/s, LSR might be on a non circular orbit.
![Page 18: Kinematic Modelling of the Milky Way using RAVE and GCS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681484b550346895db55f42/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Bayesian data analysis. We use MCMC to explore the full posterior distribution of model parameters. – p(θ | l,b,vlos) ~ p(l,b,vlos | θ ) p(θ)
Data is color magnitude limited sample of stars with (l,b,vlos).
So we have to marginalise over – (t 'Age',m 'mass', Z '[Fe/H]')
– and also (d, vl, vb).
p(l,b,d,t|S) = ∬ p(l,b,d,t,m,Z) S(l,b,t,m,Z) dm dZ– p(l,b,d,t,m,Z) comes from the Besancon Galaxy model.
– S(l,b,t,m,Z) is the selection function unique to each survey

Method of fitting analytical models to data
![Page 19: Kinematic Modelling of the Milky Way using RAVE and GCS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681484b550346895db55f42/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Full exploration of parameter space using MCMC is computationally costly. In RAVE we have more than 200,000 stars which makes the task even more challenging.
• Instead of doing integrals– We set up the problem as a hierarchical Bayesian model.
– Metropolis-Within-Gibbs was found to be useful.

Problems with Gaussian models
In Gaussian models Rσ
thin is strongly correlated with V☉.
Moreover, for RAVE data Rσ
thin is negative while for GCS data it is
positive.
So the Gaussian model gives inconsistent results when applied to RAVE and GCS data sets.
![Page 21: Kinematic Modelling of the Milky Way using RAVE and GCS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681484b550346895db55f42/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
RAVE-GAUSS
• Marginalised posterior distribution of model parameters.
• The anti-correlation of R
σthin and V☉

can be seen
• V ☉ and v
c
affected by αz

22
RAVE-SHU
In the Shu model the azimuthal motion is coupled to radial motion so it has 3 fewer parameters.
This helps to resolve the R
σthin
– V☉ degeneracy.
![Page 23: Kinematic Modelling of the Milky Way using RAVE and GCS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681484b550346895db55f42/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
The Gaussian model fails to properly fit the wings of the distribution.
The reason that the Gaussian model gives inconsistent results for RAVE and GCS is because it is not a good description of the data.

Rave velocity distribution compared
to models.
• The Shu model fits the RAVE data well.
![Page 26: Kinematic Modelling of the Milky Way using RAVE and GCS](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681484b550346895db55f42/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
• The Shu-RAVE slightly overestimates the right wing of the V distribution.
• The discrepancy is probably due to significant amount of substructure in the GCS data which can potentially bias the GCS best fit model.
How well does the RAVE best fit model fit the GCS
data?

• Using only (l,b,vlos
) data from RAVE survey we obtain– good constraints on a number of kinematic parameters of the Milky
Way.
• Deficiency of a Gaussian model is clearly exposed by RAVE data– (high V☉ ,negative R
σthin)
• Vc,
V; ;
– model dependent
– Neglecting vertical dependence of kinematics can lead to undestimation of V
c.
• We find vcirc
~ 232 km/s and V
☉ ~7.54 km/s, which gives Ω☉=(vc+V
☉ )/R ☉ ~
30.04 km/s/kpc – in good agreement with Sgr A* proper motion of 30.24 km/s/kpc
(Reid & Brunthaler 2004).
• The best fit RAVE model also fits the GCS data well.– GCS V☉
is lower by 2 km/s.
• In future, fitting a dynamical model that takes into account both the spatial and kinematic components together should lead to more robust analysis.
