Possible Streams of the Globular Clusters in the Galaxy
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper aims to retrieve the ghost streams under the pre-assumption that all the globular clusters in our Galaxy were formed in the very early merge events. The results are based on two speculations: that the specific energy and angular momentum of the globular clusters after merge are not changed in process of evolution and that the globular clusters with common origin would stay in the same orbit plane as parent galaxy. In addition, taking into account the apo-galacticum distance of the orbits, five possible streams were suggested with a significant confidence. The number of streams is consistent with previous results. Three of the four well established members of the Sagittarius stream were found to be in one of our streams. Several other globular clusters in our result were also thought to come from accretion by previous research. Furthermore, the orbital parameters of the streams are derived, which provide a way to testify whether these streams are true with the help of the accurate measurement of proper motions of the globular clusters.

Four New Stellar Debris Streams in the Galactic Halo
We report on the detection of four new stellar debris streams and a new dwarf galaxy candidate in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Three of the streams, ranging between 3 and 15 kpc in distance and spanning between 37 and 84 on the sky, are very narrow and are most probably tidal streams originating in extant or disrupted globular clusters. The fourth stream is much broader, roughly 45 kpc distant...

baryonic matter distribution in the large-scale structures is one of the main questions in cosmology. This distribution can provide valuable information regarding the processes of galaxy formation and evolution. On the other hand, the missing baryon problem is still under debate. One of the most important cosmological structures for studying the rate and the distribution of the baryons is gal...

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 measurements and Hipparcos astrometry provide several good candidates for Galactic mass determinations in the intermediate halo, far above the Galactic disk, including Pal 5, NGC 4147, NGC 5024 (M53) and NGC 5466; the ...

The origin of metal-rich, highly flattened, and rapidly rotating disk globular cluster system in the Galaxy is one of longstanding issues in the context of the Galaxy formation. Our numerical simulations suggest a new “two-fold” scenario that the disk globular clusters are firstly formed in the high-pressure, dense central region of a gas-rich dwarf galaxy, as induced during the tidal interacti...
