Geometric correction for heliocentric velocity dispersion
ID: geometric-correction-for-heliocentric-velocity-dispersion
For tracers sampled uniformly on a Galactocentric shell of radius , with the Sun at radius , the correction in the heliocentric projection of a spherical velocity dispersion isThe limiting value at is ; it tends to as and to at large radius. Uniform heliocentric solid angle at fixed instead gives exactly. Specify the selection measure when applying the correction.
