A large sample of blue horizontal-branch stars reveals that the Milky Way halo anisotropy increases from the center, stays radially dominated after removing merger debris, and shows older stars on colder, less radial orbits in the inner regions.

Synthetic stellar population models show TRGB luminosity varies by at most 0.028 mag from typical changes in alpha enhancement, age, and helium at fixed metallicity, confirming its robustness as a distance indicator.
New abundance measurements for NGC 6723 align its chemical patterns with other metal-intermediate globular clusters rather than indicating a transition to metal-rich properties.
