New Stellar Debris Streams in the Galactic Halo from Gaia
Abstract
We apply a matched filter to the Gaia DR2 catalog in an ongoing search for stellar debris streams in the Galactic halo. Though our search is complicated by non-uniformities in sky coverage, we find a number of known streams as well several new stream candidates out to 15 kpc. Some of these streams show interesting orbital similarities that suggest a common progenitor.
