"The vertical structure of the halo rotation",

2003, proc. of the JENAM workshop on "Galactic and Stellar Dynamics" - Porto, Portugal 3-6 September 2002, Eds. C. M. Boily, P. Pastsis, S. Portegies Zwart, R. Spurzem & C. Theis, EAS Publ. Series, 10, 115

Summary:

New GSC-II proper motions of RR Lyrae and Blue Horizontal Branch (BHB) stars near the North Galactic Pole are used to show that the Galactic Halo 5 kpc above the Plane has a significantly retrograde galactic rotation.
