Upper panels: Orbit of BPM 3066 in the plane of the Galaxy (Y vs. X, right panel) and in the meridional plane (Z vs. R = X 2 + Y 2 $ R=\sqrt{X^2+Y^2} $, left panel). Galactocentric cartesian coordinates are designated by X, Y, and Z, Z being the height over the Galactic plane. The circle with a dot symbol (⊙) in both panels shows the position of the Sun today, while the filled black star is the current position of BPM 3066. Bottom panels: Orbital energy, E, vs. the vertical component of the angular momentum, LZ (left panel) and the action diamond (right panel, see text for details). BPM 3066 is marked with the black filled stars. The background population is the ‘good-parallax sample’ of Bonifacio et al. (2021), with stars classified as thin, thick, and halo stars shown as red, green, and grey dots. Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus and Sequoia/Thamnos candidates are shown in magenta and cyan, respectively. The shaded cyan region in the action diamond shows the criteria adopted from Feuillet et al. (2021) to select Sequoia candidates.
