Descripción
There are several hundred thousand R = 2000 stellar spectra reported in
the final public release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-I) and
the continuing project SEGUE (Sloan Extension for Galactic Exploration
and Understanding), which has completed roughly half of its scheduled
set of observations to date.
The stars in this sample were targeted for a wide variety of reasons,
and hence do not represent a sample from which an unbiased metallicity
distribution function (MDF) of stars in the halo or thick-disk
populations may be drawn. However, there exist over 6500 stars with
estimated metallicities [Fe/H]<-2.0 and effective temperatures in the
range 4500 K
