Figure 8: Rotational velocity of old open clusters in the third Galactic quadrant beyond 12 kpc from the Galactic center. The dashed line is the stellar disk rotation curve from Olling & Merrifield (2000), while the thick solid line is the typical location of old open clusters in the solar vicinity. Symbols are as in Fig. 3. |

Figure 9: Location and kinematics of old open clusters in the Galactic anti-center. Superimposed are Peñarubia et al. (2005) models of the Monoceros Ring. The filled circle indicates Saurer 1, whilst the filled square Berkeley 29 and the filled triangle Tombaugh 2, previously indicated as MRi members. |
