Abstract:
The Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) is a magnitude-limited (9<I<12)
spectroscopic survey of Galactic stars randomly selected in Earth's
southern hemisphere. The RAVE medium-resolution spectra (R∼7500) cover
the Ca-triplet region (8410-8795Å). The sixth and final data
release (DR6) is based on 518387 observations of 451783 unique stars.
RAVE observations were taken between 2003 April 12 and 2013 April 4.
Here we present the genesis, setup, and data reduction of RAVE as well
as wavelength-calibrated and flux-normalized spectra and error spectra
for all observations in RAVE DR6. Furthermore, we present derived
spectral classification and radial velocities for the RAVE targets,
complemented by cross-matches with Gaia DR2 and other relevant
catalogs. A comparison between internal error estimates, variances
derived from stars with more than one observing epoch, and a
comparison with radial velocities of Gaia DR2 reveals consistently
that 68% of the objects have a velocity accuracy better than 1.4km/s,
while 95% of the objects have radial velocities better than 4.0km/s.
We present part 2 of the sixth and final Data Release (DR6) of the
Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), a magnitude-limited (9<I<12)
spectroscopic survey of Galactic stars randomly selected in Earth's
southern hemisphere. The RAVE medium-resolution spectra (R∼7500) cover
the Ca triplet region (8410-8795Å) and span the complete time frame
from the start of RAVE observations on 2003 April 12 to their
completion on 2013 April 4. In the second of two publications, we
present the data products derived from 518,387 observations of 451,783
unique stars using a suite of advanced reduction pipelines focusing on
stellar atmospheric parameters, in particular purely spectroscopically
derived stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff, logg, and the overall
metallicity), enhanced stellar atmospheric parameters inferred via a
Bayesian pipeline using Gaia DR2 astrometric priors, and
asteroseismically calibrated stellar atmospheric parameters for giant
stars based on asteroseismic observations for 699 K2 stars. In
addition, we provide abundances of the elements Fe, Al, and Ni, as
well as an overall [alpha/Fe] ratio obtained using a new pipeline
based on the GAUGUIN optimization method that is able to deal with
variable signal-to-noise ratios.
The RAVE DR6 catalogs are cross-matched with relevant astrometric and
photometric catalogs, and are complemented by orbital parameters and
effective temperatures based on the infrared flux method.
Description:
The Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) is a magnitude-limited (9<I<12)
spectroscopic survey of Galactic stars randomly selected in the
southern hemisphere. The RAVE medium resolution spectra (R∼7500) cover
the Ca-triplet region (8410-8795Å) and span the complete time frame
from the start of RAVE observations on 12 April 2003 to their
completion on 4 April 2013. Wavelength-calibrated and flux-normalized
spectra for 518387 observations of 451783 unique stars are
presented. The final data release 6 consists of spectra, error
spectra, spectral classification, derived radial velocities, and cross
matches with other relevant catalogs.
Further data products are using a suite of advanced reduction
pipelines focusing on stellar atmospheric parameters, in particular
purely spectroscopically derived stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff,
logg, and the overall metallicity), enhanced stellar parameters
inferred via a Bayesian pipeline using Gaia DR2 astrometric priors,
and asteroseismically calibrated stellar parameters for giant stars
based on asteroseismic observations for 699 K2 stars. In addition, we
provide abundances of the elements Fe, Al, and Ni, as well as an

signal-to-noise ratios. The Rave DR6 catalogs are cross matched with
relevant astrometric and photometric catalogs, and are complemented by
orbital parameters and effective temperatures based on the infrared
flux method.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note on master.dat: dr6_sparv is the master file of the Rave DR6 data release.
The table contains all observations and objects for which a spectrum
can be found in the spectral data base, contains all observations for
which the pipeline converged to provide a radial velocity and is the
sample of spectra that served as input for further analysis pipelines,
e.g., those to derive stellar atmospheric parameters or abundances.
The table contains the heliocentric radial velocity, information on
the zero-point calibration using sky lines and convergence information
of the pipeline.
Note on aux.dat: The Spectral Parameter and Radial Velocity (SPARV, see
Section 5 of Paper I) pipeline's additional output is provided in this
tab. This additional information such as stellar parameters from
matching templates is provided. These data should, if at all, be used
with care for further astrophysical applications, as they are subject
to complicated biases (see DR4, Section 4.4)
Note on cdrmad.dat and cdrbdasp.dat: For backward compatibility with the DR4
and DR5 data releases, we also provide a file with chemical abundances
derived using the CDR pipeline (Boeche+ 2011, J/AJ/142/193) using
Teff, logg, and [m/H] of the MADERA and BDASP pipeline as input, but
in general we recommend the use of elemental abundances from the GAUGUIN
pipeline.
Note on orbits.dat: Information of the orbits of the Rave stars, obtained
under the assumption of a given Milky Way mass model (Section 5 of
Paper II).
Note on seismic.dat: The table contains the asteroseismically calibrated red
giant catalog. The calibration procedure is as outlined in DR5, but
uses teff_irfm (irfm.dat) as the prior for the effective temperature.
