| Abstract |
We briefly review measurements of the disk stellar velocity ellipsoid
(SVE) completed [1] for the Disk-Mass Survey [2] and illustrate
additional Calar Alto PMAS/PPak data that will supplement these results.
This discussion is motivated by the fundamental physical insights into
both the disk and overall gravitational potential provided by the
three-dimensional (3D) description of the SVE. |
