Fig. 2.

Different projections of velocity space for the various subsets considered in this chapter: thick-disc, TDtail, and pure halo from top to bottom. The lower density of stars present in these top panels for small values of vR and vz is due to the exclusion of thin-disc stars in our selection. We note that even our pureHalo subset contains some stars with ‘hot’ thick-disc-like kinematics (as evidenced by the arch-like structure in the bottom central panel). Red dashed curves in the bottom panel outline the structures that are mentioned in the text.
