Rotational velocity vs. metallicity distribution of the red giant stars from the Andrae et al. (2023) catalog that have a cylindrical galacto-centric radius between 7 kpc and 10 kpc. Each panel are different bins of distance from the Galactic plane (from left to right: 2−3 kpc, 3−4 kpc, 4−6 kpc). The mean rotational velocity for halo stars is consistent with 0, with metallicity [Fe/H] < −1, while for disk stars [Fe/H] > −1 and rotation slows down with distance from the plane.
