The Magellanic Stream and the density of coronal gas in the Galactic halo
C. Murali
The properties of the Magellanic Stream constrain the density of coronal gas in the distant Galactic halo. We show that motion through ambient gas can strongly heat Stream clouds,…

Determining the galactic mass distribution using tidal streams from globular clusters
C. Murali, J. Dubinski
We discuss how to use tidal streams from globular clusters to measure the mass distribution of the Milky Way. Recent proper motion determinations for globular clusters from plate m…

Constraints on the mass and abundance of black holes in the Galactic halo: the high mass limit
C. Murali, P. Arras, I. Wasserman
We establish constraints on the mass and abundance of black holes in the Galactic halo by determining their impact on globular clusters which are conventionally considered to be li…
