Samples drawn randomly from posterior PDFs for means and dispersions of velocity (left; solar rest frame) and metallicity (right) distributions for Crater 2. Histograms display marginalized, 1D PDFs for each parameter. In the right panel, the gray band represents the metallicity of −1.7 ± 0.1 that is estimated by fitting isochrones to the photometric data (T16; see Section 4.3).
