Caption: Figure 3.

Spectroscopically measured surface gravity (top), metallicity (middle), and velocity (bottom) vs. angular separation from Crater 2's center. Red (black) markers represent stars with posterior membership probability ﹩\geqslant 50 \% ﹩ (<50%). Histograms display 1D distributions, with posterior PDFs for the two populations (Crater 2 members and Milky Way foreground) of our mixture model overplotted.
