Caption: Figure 2.

Examples of sky-subtracted MMT/Hectochelle spectra (black) for stars observed along the line of sight to Crater 2, with best-fitting models overplotted (red). Spectra in the top four panels correspond to likely red giants within Crater 2; the spectrum in the bottom panel is a metal-rich dwarf star in the Milky Way foreground. Text in each panel indicates the star ID (see Table 2), g magnitude from the ATLAS catalog, equatorial coordinates, and our estimates of spectroscopic quantities.
