Description

This file contains a simulated Milky Way stellar halo from Erkal et al. 2020 (https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020arXiv200111030E/abstract) which has been evolved in the presence of a 1.5e11 Msun LMC. This stellar halo has a nearly constant anisotropy of 0.5. As described in the header, the first 6 columns give the Galactocentric position and velocity of each particle in cartesian coordinates and the next 6 columns give the observables from the Sun's location (l,b,dist,mu_l*,mu_b,v_gsr). The Sun is taken to be at a distance of 8.122 kpc in the -x direction. Note that the proper motions are reflex corrected.

Please cite Erkal et al. 2020 if you make use of this simulation.
