cds-question@unistra.frmetallicityradial-velocitygiant-starshalo-starshigh-velocity-starsThe catalog results from a survey for distant Field K giants in the Galactic halo made for purposes of locating a chemically and kinematically unbiased sample out to about 25 kpc from the Sun. The motivation for the study and sample selection are outlined by Ratnatunga & Freeman (1985ApJ...291..260R), while details and analysis of the results will be found in Ratnatunga & Freeman (1989). Three high-galactic latitude fields each of 20 square degrees, designated by their Selected-Area identifications, include the following: SA 141 (l=240,b=-85); SA 189 (277, -50); and SA 127 (272, +38), and have the apparent magnitude range 13 < V < 16 and color range (B-V) > 0.9. Stars were selected from PDS photographic photometry of Schmidt plates (see Ratnatunga 1983, catalog II/121). K-giant selection used the Mgb+MgH feature at 5100A from digital image analysis of PDS scans of ESO 1-m Schmidt telescope objective-prism spectra with 450 A/mm at H-gamma resolution on IIIa-J plates exposed through a Schott GG475 filter. Luminosity confirmation, line-of-sight velocities, and metallicity were determined from 2-A resolution slit spectra taken with the 4-m Anglo- Australian and 1.9-m Mount Stromlo telescopes. Cross identifications exist for some stars in the SA 141 SGP field only.1989ApJ...339..126Rhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/V/65CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=V/65https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=V/65http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=V/65https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=V/65https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=V/65http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=V/65GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table V/65/kgiants (Catalog Data)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/V/65/kgiants?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/V/65/kgiants?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/V/65/kgiants?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true17.780315-29.6344030.0055555555555555565/6298 6309 6311 6320 8937 6/25151 25198 25235 25284 25285 25286 25288 25289 25290 25292 25312 33551 33558 33559 33565 33566 33572 33573 33584 33587 33588 33608 33610 35723 35727 35729 35730 35731 35734 35735 35737 35738 35739 35740 35743 35760 35761 357683.322582951404819e-19 3.852589004194616e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/V/65?format=asciiOpticaldefaultV/65/kgiantsCatalog DatarecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
