Extended Data Figure 1: Membership selection.

From: The remnant of a merger between two dwarf galaxies in Andromeda II

Extended Data Figure 1

The spectroscopic data set in the plane (vlos, R), shaded according to the probability of each target belonging to the stellar population of And II. Non-member targets with velocities higher than the systematic velocity of And II, vsys = −191.4 ± 0.4, are foreground contaminants from the Milky Way, whereas non-member targets at lower negative velocities are interlopers from the Andromeda halo.
