Scientific paper

We analyze deep widefield V and R photometry from candidate open clusters in the direction of the recently discovered Monoceros ring and the proposed Canis Major dwarf galaxy remnant. For two fields we find significant evidence for a new stellar population which is not explained by known Galactic components such as the warp, flare and spiral arms. One field exhibits significant evidence for a discrete population of stars at a heliocentric distance of 8 kpc in support of the existence of the Canis Major remnant galaxy.
