The Disk-Halo Transition and the Search for Stellar Streams
Recent work by Nissen and Schuster have found two distinct populations of halo stars with -1<5 alpha [Fe/H] -0<5. Both populations are kinematically selected to be halo stars. The differences between the two groups are the alpha -elemental abundances and the [Na/Fe] and [Ni/Fe] ratios. From angular momentum space, we can see that the majority of these stars do not show any extreme kinematic indica
