The Galactic Bulge Exploration. VI. Gaia Enceladus/Sausage RR Lyrae Stars in the Inner-central Stellar Halo of the Milky Way

We present a view of the stellar halo in the inner-central regions of the Milky Way ( R ≲ 10 kpc) mapped by RR Lyrae stars. The combined BRAVA-RR/APOGEE RR Lyrae catalog is used to obtain a sample of 281 RR Lyrae stars located in the bulge region of the Galaxy, but with orbits indicating they belong...
