A Magellanic origin for the Virgo substructure
D. Boubert, V. Belokurov, D. Erkal +1
Iorio et al. (2018) mapped out the Milky Way halo using a sample of RR Lyrae stars drawn from a cross-match of Gaia with 2MASS. We investigate the significant residual in their mod…

The first all-sky view of the Milky Way stellar halo with Gaia+2MASS RR Lyrae
G. Iorio, V. Belokurov, D. Erkal +3
We exploit the first \gaia data release to study the properties of the Galactic stellar halo as traced by RR Lyrae. We demonstrate that it is possible to select a pure sample of RR…
