Objective Prism Survey of the Outer Galactic Halo
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
The aim of this survey is to locate samples of very distant field halo stars, to study the kinematics and metal abundance distribution in the outer regions of the galactic halo. Field halo K giants were chosen for the study, as they are intrinsically bright stars whose evolution is well understood. Halo K giants, near the tip of the giant branch and between 10 and 40 kpc from the sun, will have apparent magnitudes in the range 13 < V < 18, and colours (B-V) > 0.9.
