Caption: Figure 2.

3D kinematics of stars with available RVs in OBP-near and Briceño-1 in heliocentric Galactic Cartesian coordinates after subtracting the combined average of their kinematics in each dimension. Larger, lighter-colored cones represent faster-moving stars, and smaller, darker-colored cones represent slower-moving stars. The directions of the cones’ apices represent the directions of the stars’ motions. The dashed line in each panel marks the spatial division of the two groups from that viewing angle.
