Streams on FIRE: Populations of Detectable Stellar Streams in the Milky Way and FIRE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the first detailed comparison of populations of dwarf galaxy stellar streams in cosmological simulations and the Milky Way. In particular, we compare streams identified around 13 Milky Way analogs in the FIRE-2 simulations to streams observed ...

Dependence of stellar substructures in M31 type galaxy on satellite morphology in galaxy mergers [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2022 Stellar streams and shells are observed in halos of spiral galaxies. In this paper, we investigated the formation of these structures due to mergers between the host spiral galaxy and its dwarf satellite galaxies.

Building an Acceleration Ladder with Tidal Streams and Pulsar Timing
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We analyse stellar streams in action-angle coordinates combined with recent local direct acceleration measurements to provide joint constraints on the potential of our galaxy.

A Dwarf Galaxy Debris Stream Associated with Palomar 1 and the Anticenter Stream
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We report the discovery of a new stream (dubbed as Yangtze) detected in Gaia Data Release 3. The stream is at a heliocentric distance of ∼9.12 kpc and spans nearly 27° by 1.°9 on the sky.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Stellar streams in the Galactic halo are useful probes of the assembly of galaxies like the Milky Way. Many tidal stellar streams that have been found in recent years are accompanied by a known progenitor globular cluster or dwarf galaxy.

Stream Fanning and Bifurcations: Observable Signatures of Resonances in Stellar Stream Morphology
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Recent observations have revealed a trove of unexpected morphological features in many of the Milky Way’s stellar streams. Explanations for such features include time-dependent deformations of the Galactic gravitational potential, local disruptions ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Stellar streams from globular clusters (GCs) offer constraints on the nature of dark matter and have been used to explore the dark matter halo structure and substructure of our Galaxy. Detection of GC streams in other galaxies would broaden this endeavor

Open Astronomy, 2021 We introduce the application of the clustering algorithm to the preliminary compiled list of probable wide pairs of co-moving stars. The main aim of such development is a possibility of unsupervised blind search of coeval loose stellar structures over ...
