Evidence for Distinct Components of the Galactic Stellar Halo from 838 RR Lyrae Stars Discovered in the LONEOS-I Survey

We present 838 ab-type RR Lyrae stars from the Lowell Observatory Near Earth Objects Survey Phase I (LONEOS-I). These objects cover 1430 deg super(2) and span distances ranging from 3 to 30 kpc from the Galactic center. Object selection is based on phased, photometric data with 28-50 epochs. We use...
