Galactic orbit of MCC 869 integrated back in time in the potential models by JSH95 (upper panels) and AS91 (bottom panels) in projections onto the (X,Y) plane (left-hand panels, for −9 Gyr) and the (R,Z) plane (the remaining six panels, for −9, −2, and −1 Gyr). The open square shows the present position of the star. The inset to panel d) shows a projection of the orbit in more detail with the R,Z-axes scaled independently.
