This research aims to explore the kinematic coherence length in the Milky Way halo using Gaia DR3 data.
Extracted a kinematic coherence length L_KC from the Gaia DR3 halo sample of 3704 stars
Utilized a marked-pair velocity correlation estimator to analyze the data
Applied two independent binning schemes to validate the findings
Produced eighty null realizations to test the validity of L_KC slopes
Established a consolidated empirical scaling of L_KC at approximately 0.11 ± 0.02 times the Galactocentric radius (r_GC)
Found no valid slopes for L_KC when testing against the null hypothesis
Observed a positive correlation with chi_C but the BIC model comparison did not favor structural models over null models
