The Bulge Radial Velocity Assay (BRAVA) is a survey that consists of spectra for
approximately 8,500 red giants in the Galactic bulge. As part of its goal to
understand the formation of the Milky Way and its bulge, BRAVA samples radial
velocities of the stars at a large scale along with photometry and
titanium oxide (TiO) band strengths.

for kinematics of a field strip and Kunder et al.
(2012) for the survey, as well as the dataset Digital Object Identifier
