RAVE DR6 (ravedr6)

Description

RAVE DR6 is the 6th and last in the series of Rave data releases. For the first time it is accompanied by a data base of wavelength calibrated and flux normalized spectra. These are provided for 518 392 observations of 451 788 unique stars. Furthermore, it provides a new setof stellar parameters employing parallax information from Gaia DR2, and a new set of chemical abundances.
