Notes. Column 1: name of the sub-structure. Column 2: number of RRLs in each sub-structure identified with the CLiMB algorithm, for which photometric metallicities from Muraveva et al. (2025) are available and have uncertainties smaller than 0.5 dex. Column 3: weighted mean metal-licity of RRLs identified as belonging to the sub-structure using the CLiMB algorithm, with uncertainties calculated as the weighted standard deviation of the mean. For sub-structures containing only one star, the uncertainty corresponds to the photometric metallicity uncertainty of that individual star. Column 4: same as Column 2, but for RRLs identified as part of the sub-structure through cross-matching with the D23 catalogue. Column 5: same as Column 3, but for RRLs identified as part of the sub-structure through cross-matching with the D23 catalogue. Column 6: mean metallicity of RRLs from D’Orazi et al. (2024). Column 7: mean metallicity of RRLs from Cabrera Garcia et al. (2024). Column 8: mean metallicity of RRLs from Sun et al. (2025). (*)D’Orazi et al. (2024) provided the mean metallicities for Thamnos I and Thamnos II separately. In the table, we report the average of the two values.
