The pericenter ($r_{peri}$) is defined as the minimum Galactocentric distance of a star along its orbit. It is estimated by Galpy (Bovy 2015) for a rescaled version of the potential of McMillan (2017). The Galactocentric distance of the Sun is set at $R_{\odot }=8.249$ kpc and the circular velocity at $R_{\odot }$ is $V_{\odot }=238.5$ km s${}^{-1}$ (Gravity Collaboration et al. 2021; Schönrich et al. 2010). This field contains the lower confidence limit (16th percentile) of the pericenters computed for different Monte Carlo realisations of the proper motions, distances and line-of-sight velocities.

ecc_lo : Lower confidence limit of the orbital eccentricity computed assuming the Staeckel approximation. (float)

The eccentricity is computed as the ratio $(r_{apo}-r_{peri})/(r_{apo}+r_{peri})$, where $r_{apo}$ and $r_{peri}$ refer to the apocenter and pericenter, respectively. It ranges from 0 (circular orbits) to 1 (open orbits). Both the apocenter and the pericenter required to compute the eccentricity have been estimated by Galpy (Bovy 2015) for a rescaled version of the potential of McMillan (2017). The Galactocentric distance of the Sun is set at $R_{\odot }=8.249$ kpc and the circular velocity at $R_{\odot }$ is $V_{\odot }=238.5$ km s${}^{-1}$ (Gravity Collaboration et al. 2021; Schönrich et al. 2010). This field contains the lower confidence limit (16th percentile) of the set of eccentricities computed for different Monte Carlo realisations of the proper motions, distances and line-of-sight velocities.

x_lo : Lower confidence limit of the Cartesian coordinate X. (float, Length & Distance[kpc])

The adopted convention for the Cartesian coordinate system locates the Galactic Center at the origin and the Sun at $(X,Y,Z)=(R_{\odot },0,Z_{\odot })$, where $R_{\odot }=8.249$ kpc (Gravity Collaboration et al. 2021) and $Z_{\odot }=0.0208$ kpc (Bennett and Bovy 2019). This field contains the lower confidence limit (16th percentile) of the set of $X$ coordinates computed for different Monte Carlo realisations of the proper motions, distances and line-of-sight velocities.

y_lo : Lower confidence limit of the Cartesian coordinate Y. (float, Length & Distance[kpc])

The adopted convention for the Cartesian coordinate system locates the Galactic Center at the origin and the Sun at $(X,Y,Z)=(R_{\odot },0,Z_{\odot })$, where $R_{\odot }=8.249$ kpc (Gravity Collaboration et al. 2021) and $Z_{\odot }=0.0208$ kpc (Bennett and Bovy 2019). This field contains the lower confidence limit (16th percentile) of the set of $Y$ coordinates computed for different Monte Carlo realisations of the proper motions, distances and line-of-sight velocities.

z_lo : Lower confidence limit of the Cartesian coordinate Z. (float, Length & Distance[kpc])

The adopted convention for the Cartesian coordinate system locates the Galactic Center at the origin and the Sun at $(X,Y,Z)=(R_{\odot },0,Z_{\odot })$, where $R_{\odot }=8.249$ kpc (Gravity Collaboration et al. 2021) and $Z_{\odot }=0.0208$ kpc (Bennett and Bovy 2019). This field contains the lower confidence limit (16th percentile) of the set of $Z$ coordinates computed for different Monte Carlo realisations of the proper motions, distances and line-of-sight velocities.
