Abstract:
We present the third data release of the RAdial Velocity Experiment
(RAVE) which is the first milestone of the RAVE project, releasing the
full pilot survey. The catalog contains 83,072 radial velocity
measurements for 77,461 stars in the southern celestial hemisphere, as
well as stellar parameters for 39,833 stars. This paper describes the
content of the new release, the new processing pipeline, as well as an
updated calibration for the metallicity based upon the observation of
additional standard stars. Spectra will be made available in a future
release. The data release can be accessed via the RAVE Web site
http://www.rave-survey.org.
Description:
Spectroscopic radial velocities for 83,072 stars in the Milky-Way
southern hemisphere using the 6dF instrument at the AAO. Stellar
parameters are published for a set of 39,833 stars belonging to the
second and third years of observation.

Note (1): Source of proper motion as follows:
0 = no proper motion
1 = Tycho-2 proper motion (Cat. I/259)
2 = Supercosmos Sky Survey proper motion (2003 version)
3 = PPMX proper motion (Cat. I/312)
4 = GSC1.2 (Cat. I/254) + 2MASS (Cat. II/246) proper motion
5 = UCAC-2 proper motions (Cat. I/289)
6 = USNO-B proper motions (Cat. I/284)
Note (2): Cross-identification flag as follows:
A = good association
B = 2 solutions within 1arcsec
C = more than two solutions within 1arcsec
D = nearest neighbour more than 2arcsec away
X = no possible counterpart found
Note (3): Flag value as follows:
A = dispersion around correction lower than 1km/s
B = dispersion between 1 and 2km/s
C = dispersion between 2 and 3km/s
D = dispersion larger than 3km/s
E = less than 15 fibers available for the fit
Note (4): Flag identifying possible problem in the spectra (values can be
combined) as follows:
a = asymmetric Ca lines
c = cosmic ray pollution
e = emission line spectra
n = noise dominated spectra
l = no lines visible
w = weak lines
g = strong ghost
t = bad template fit
s = strong residual sky emission
cc = bad continuum
r = red part of the spectra shows problem
b = blue part of the spectra shows problem
p = possible binary/doubled lined
x = peculiar object
Note (5): Flag identifying the fraction of the spectrum unaffected by
continuum problems from the MASK program. Spectrum with MaskFLAG
lower than 0.70 must be used with caution.
