Coverage of the photometric and spectroscopic observations across the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The CTIO 4 m/MOSAIC photometry is shown as small black dots, while the open (blue) circles show the low-resolution VLT/FLAMES Ca ii triplet sample and the solid (red) dots show the high-resolution spectroscopic sample. The dashed (green) ellipse indicates the tidal radius of Carina (28.8 arcmin, 0.48 degrees), while the black ellipses indicate one and two core radii (Irwin & Hatzidimitriou 1995). The (0, 0) coordinate in the coverage plot corresponds to RA = 06:41:36.70, Dec = –50:57:58.00. Finally, the region outlined by the solid red line is used for MW foreground correction. The large gap in the top-left is caused by a bright foreground star that saturates the CCD.
