This dataset contains two files which consist of a highly pure and kinematically unbiased sample of Halo Blue Horizontal Branch stars with 7D information (6D phase space and metallicity). The file BHB_allinfo.fits contains a sample of 3,680 stars with the columns described in the README file, while the file BHB_sagFilt_allinfo.fits contains a subsample of the BHB_allinfo.fits file 3,064 stars where we have endeavored to remove the Sagittarius Stream
