Notes. The first three rows correspond to the combination of turnoff and RGB populations which should be dominated by bulge populations (Kuijken & Rich 2002) and according to the cuts in Fig. 12. Last 6 rows are the parameters for the velocity ellipsoids in each field divided by populations, turnoff, RGB and blue MS.

(a)

Spearman’s correlation coefficient between μl and Vr.

(b)

Prob(rS) corresponds to the significance of the correlation rS.

(c)

Vertex angle.

(d)

Total number of stars selected.

(e)

Number of rejected stars during clipping procedure.
