The field dwarf sample is from the original Carney-Latham survey plus its recent extension to about 500 additional stars, a total of about 1450 stars. We have chosen a conservative criterion to isolate halo stars, namely retrograde orbits in the Galaxy, to minimize contamination by thin and thick disk stars, giving a halo sample of 144 stars.
