Abstract:
We describe a sample of K giants at the South Galactic Pole, selected to
examine the chemical and kinematical properties of stars perpendicular to
the galactic plane and to measure the local column density of the disk. We
report velocities, abundances, absolute magnitudes, and broadband BV
photometry for over 500 giants.
