The mechanics of tidal streams
Andy Eyre, James Binney
We present an analysis of the mechanics of thin streams, which are formed following the tidal disruption of cold, low-mass clusters in the potential of a massive host galaxy. The a…

On the dynamics of tidal streams in the Milky Way galaxy
Andy Eyre
We present a brief history of Galactic astrophysics, and explain the origin of halo substructure in the Galaxy. We motivate our study of tidal streams by highlighting the tight con…

Fitting orbits to tidal streams with proper motions
Andy Eyre, James Binney
The Galaxy's stellar halo seems to be a tangle of disrupted systems that have been tidally stretched out into streams. Each stream approximately delineates an orbit in the Galactic…
