Caption: Figure 1.
(Upper panel) H3 halo stars to date at Galactocentric distances >37.5 kpc, excluding stars identified as Sgr members or failed quality cuts (see the text), are shown as colored circles, coded by VGSR. The fields observed so far in H3 are shown by gray plus signs. (Lower panel) Our subsample of H3 stars, those from the upper panel with −350 < VGSR < −155 km s−1, are compared to the gaseous Magellanic Stream, which is color coded to the same scale in VGSR. The LMC and SMC are shown as black ellipses.
