Exploring the variable sky with Linear. II. Halo structure and substructure traced by RR Lyrae stars to 30 kpc

We present a sample of ~5000 RR Lyrae stars selected from the recalibrated LINEAR data set and detected at heliocentric distances between 5 kpc and 30 kpc over ~8000 deg[superscript 2] of sky. The coordinates and light curve properties, such as period and Oosterhoff type, are made publicly available...
