Metal-rich SX Phe stars in Kepler field

Radial velocities (RVs), space motions (U, V, W), projected rotation velocities (vsini), spectral types and atmospheric characteristics (T_eff_, logg, [Fe/H], {xi}_t_, {zeta}_RT_, etc.) are presented for 30 of the 32 stars. Although several stars are metal-weak with extreme halo orbits, the mean [Fe/H] of the sample is near-solar, thus the stars are more metal-rich than expected for a typical sample of Pop.

II stars and more like halo metal-rich A-type stars. Two-thirds of the stars are fast rotators with vsini>50km/s^, including four stars with vsini>200km/s. Three of the stars have (negative) RVs>250km/s^, five have retrograde space motions and 21 have total speeds (relative to the Local Standard of Rest) >400km/s.
