RR Lyrae stars yield metallicity measurements for Milky Way halo substructures including Gaia Sausage/Enceladus at [Fe/H] = -1.57 dex, with some features like ED-1 showing disk contamination and others like Shiva and Shakti suggested as in-situ.
ESO 456-SC38 is a 12.7 Gyr old, [Fe/H]=-1.11 globular cluster at 8.75 kpc in the inner Galactic bulge on the blue horizontal branch.
