This table contains stars and their associated properties from the mock catalogue.
Each star has a set of positions and velocities specified relative to the galactic centre,
and relative to an observer placed at a position similar to that of the Sun's
in the Milky Way. This observer has been placed on the x-axis at r = (x,y,z) = (8,0,0) kpc,
with a velocity (U,V,W) = (11, 12 + 220, 7) km/s, (v_x, v_y, v_z) = (-11, -232, 7) km/s.

subhaloID |
long |
|
ID of subhalo to which the dark matter particle this star was spawned from, is a member of. -1 means it
is not currently a member of any subhalo, 0 means it is part of the main halo.

defined as the redshift at which the satellite reaches its maximum mass.
