The Milky Way's rotation curve out to 100 kpc and its constraint on the Galactic mass distribution (2016, result): “…of Bovy et al. (2012) and ours that their analysis has to ssume a certain shape of RC (either flat or power-law) while ours doesnot. which is in excellent agreement with most of the recent independent determinations (e.g. McMillan 2011; Schönrich 2012;Reid et al. 2014; Sharma et al. 2014).”
Using chemical tagging to redefine the interface of the Galactic disc and halo (2015, unknown): “For this, we assumed ~v = [U , V ,W ] = [14.0, 12.24, 7.25] km s−1, VLSR = 220 km s−1 (Schönrich 2012).”

Local Structure and Star Formation History of the Milky Way (2019, background): “This dependence can be characterized by Uave(km s −1 ) = U + 2.14− 0.030× (Y pc) (1) Previously, Schönrich (2012) has observed a signature of galactic rotation in the combination of the stellar velocities.”
Dynamical modelling of the galactic bulge and bar: the Milky Way's pattern speed, stellar and dark matter mass distribution (2016, result): “This set of assumption predicts a solar tangential velocity of 250kms−1, in good agreement with several recent measurements of 248±6kms−1 (Schönrich 2012, from SEGUE data), 242+10−3 kms −1 (Bovy et al. 2012, from APOGEE data), 244± 5kms−1 (Sharma et al. 2014, from RAVE data) and 251± 5kms−1 (Reid…”

The Milky Way’s stellar disk (2013, background): “…an overall mass model for the Galaxy and its halo and interpolating inferences to (R0, z = 0) (e.g., Xue et al. 2008; Koposov et al. 2010; McMillan 2011), or by mapping and modeling the stellar velocities across a sufficiently large portion of the Disk (Bovy et al. 2012a; Schönrich 2012).”
The observed spiral structure of the Milky Way (2014, background): “Some recent papers (e.g., Schönrich 2012; Reid et al. 2014) confirmed theresults of Brunthaler et al. (2011).”
REDDENING AND EXTINCTION TOWARD THE GALACTIC BULGE FROM OGLE-III: THE INNER MILKY WAY'S RV ∼ 2.5 EXTINCTION CURVE (2012, background): “…distance to the Galactic center of ∼9 kpc (Rattenbury et al. 2007a; Vanhollebeke et al. 2009), a large value relative to the geometrically determined distances to the Galactic center of 7.62± 0.32 kpc (Eisenhauer et al. 2005), 8.27 ± 0.29 kpc (Schönrich 2012), and 8.4 ± 0.4 kpc (Ghez et al. 2008).”

Constraining the Galaxy's dark halo with RAVE stars (2014, background): “…model predictions for these measurements, we assume a distance of the Sun to the GC, R0, to be 8.3 kpc (e.g. Gillessen et al. 2009; McMillan 2011; Schönrich 2012), the position of the Sun above the Galactic plane, z0, to be 14 pc (Binney, Gerhard & Spergel 1997) and the solar motion with…”
Molecular gas kinematics within the central 250 pc of the Milky Way (2016, background): “◦046 ,−14.0 kms−1}, i.e. the position (Petrov et al. 2011) and velocity of Sgr A* (accounting for the sun’s radial velocity towards the Galactic centre; Schönrich 2012).”
A timing constraint on the (total) mass of the Large Magellanic Cloud (2015, methodology): “We adopt a circular velocity of the MW at the solar radius V0 = 239± 5kms−1 (McMillan 2011), a Local Standard of Rest (U ,V ,W ) = (11.1,12.2,7.2)kms−1 (Schönrich 2012) and a left-hand coordinate system r →MW = (−8,0,0)kpc.”
The RAVE survey : the Galactic escape speed and the mass of the Milky Way (2013, background): “While the radial and vertical motion of the Sun is known to very high precision, several authors have come to different conclusions about the tangential motion, V (e.g., Reid & Brunthaler 2004; Bovy et al. 2012; Schönrich 2012).”
The Galaxy in Context: Structural, Kinematic, and Integrated Properties (2016, methodology): “An analysis less sensitive to the uncertain perturbations from spiral arms and other substructure is that by Schönrich (2012), who uses a large number of stars with PMs and RVs from the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE) survey (Yanny et al. 2009) to determine R0 by…”
The dynamical evolution of molecular clouds near the Galactic Centre - I. Orbital structure and evolutionary timeline (2014, methodology): “In order to reproduce the vertical oscillations of the stream’s orbit described in§2.3, we assume that the gravitational potential in the Galactic Centre is axisymmetric and flattened.”
The Wobbly Galaxy : kinematics north and south with RAVE red-clump giants (2013, methodology): “Schönrich (2012) found a larger value of U = 14 km s−1 compared to that used in this study and S11, and suggests that this larger value would reduce the gradient in VR.”
Idealized models for galactic disc formation and evolution in ‘realistic’ ΛCDM haloes (2012, result): “The kinematical properties of the ARef disc are thus also similar to, but slightly hotter than the Milky Way disc (Aumer & Binney 2009; Schönrich 2012).”
The mass distribution and gravitational potential of the Milky Way (2016, background): “Schönrich(2012) suggested thatSchönrich et al.(2010) may have underestimated the value ofU⊙, and that it may be∼14 km s−1.”
THE SPACE MOTION OF LEO I: THE MASS OF THE MILKY WAY'S DARK MATTER HALO (2012, background): “Using Vopt,MW = 240 km s−1 (McMillan 2011; Schönrich 2012), we find that Reyes et al. predict a median value of Mvir,MW ≈ 2.5 × 1012 M , with Mvir,MW 1.16 × 1012 M (2σ ).”
