... The first column shows the kinematical diagrams, where is the angle between the line of sight on the object and the vector of rotation about Z -axis, and V S is objects line-of-sight velocity relative to an observer at rest at the position of the Sun. The straight lines are regression fits, whose slopes yield the subsystem’s rotation rate. The second column shows the relations between metallicity and distance from the Galactic plane. ... privious figure | next figure . ...
