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…
An application of Galactic parallax: the distance to the tidal stream GD-1
Andy Eyre
We assess the practicality of computing the distance to stellar streams in our Galaxy, using the method of Galactic parallax suggested by Eyre & Binney (2009). We find that the unc…
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…
Locating the orbits delineated by tidal streams
Andy Eyre, James Binney
We describe a technique that finds orbits through the Galaxy that are consistent with measurements of a tidal stream, taking into account the extent that tidal streams do not preci…
