Globular Cluster Streams as Galactic High-Precision Scales - The Poster Child Palomar 5
Andreas H. W. Küpper, Eduardo Balbinot, Ana Bonaca +4
Using the example of the tidal stream of the Milky Way globular cluster Palomar 5 (Pal 5), we demonstrate how observational data on streams can be efficiently reduced in dimensiona…
