1 Stellar Stream map of the Milky Way Halo : Application of STREAMFINDER onto ESA/Gaia DR2 w/ Rodrigo A. Ibata and Nicolas F. Khyati Malhan PhD Student Supervisor: Dr. Rodrigo Ibata
2 Stellar Streams Pal 5 stream. Discovered by Odenkirchen et al. (2001). This map was created by Bernard et al (2016)
3 Stellar Streams Orbital Structure of Streams Pal 5 stream. Discovered by Odenkirchen et al. (2001). This map was created by Bernard et al (2016)
4 Stellar Streams >40 Milky Way Streams (SDSS, Pan-STARRS1, DES, ATLAS ) Malhan, Ibata & Martin (2018). ZEA projection of the Galactic sky. The plot was created using galstreams package (Mateu et al 2017)
5 Maximize stream detection by: STREAMFINDER Using all the prior information about the stellar stream ( analyzing phase-space-color-magnitude distribution simultaneously) This is possible with Gaia DR2
6 Maximize stream detection by: STREAMFINDER Using all the prior information about the stellar stream ( analyzing phase-space-color-magnitude distribution simultaneously) This is possible with Gaia DR2 Best way to detect stream : LOOK ALONG THE ORBITS
7 Maximize stream detection by: STREAMFINDER Using all the prior information about the stellar stream ( analyzing phase-space-color-magnitude distribution simultaneously) This is possible with Gaia DR2 Best way to detect stream : LOOK ALONG THE ORBITS
8 Maximize stream detection by: STREAMFINDER Using all the prior information about the stellar stream ( analyzing phase-space-color-magnitude distribution simultaneously) This is possible with Gaia DR2 Best way to detect stream : LOOK ALONG THE ORBITS. stream members contained in a 6D hypertube and its 6D volume ~ f(σ w, σ v, t orbit )
9 STREAMFINDER Testing algorithm with N-body simulated stream Simulated a globular cluster stream in a realistic galactic model (Dehnen & Binney 1998) Retained only 50 objects in the stream, Σ G =33 mag arcsec-2 (faint stream) Retained only 4D phase-space information l, b, μ l,μ b (with errors) v rad and ω information was deleted. Convolved Gaia like errors in proper motions. Also assigned a SSP model to the stream of ([Fe/H], Age)= (-1.5, 10 Gyr)
10 GAIA-like ERRORS PERFECT STREAM STREAMFINDER Testing algorithm with N-body simulated ~Pal-5 stream
11 STREAMFINDER Stream (50 stars) + GUMS (330,000 stars) = Data (0.015% stream stars) v rad and ω information was deleted. Convolved Gaia like errors.
12 Orbit sampling STREAMFINDER Blindness and uncertainty in stellar phase-space position. Sample orbits in: a) distance space (3 solutions based on SSP model) b) proper motion space (-3σ to +3σ) c) v rad space (s.t. v total < v escape ) ~30,000 orbits for every datum. Sampled orbits Perfect orbit Data orbit
13 STREAMFINDER Log-likelihood of a star being associated with a stellar stream. L datum = L kinematics + L LF + L continuity Data-orbit comparison (given the observed errors) Luminosity Function criteria Stream continuity criteria
14 STREAMFINDER Log-likelihood of a star being associated with a stellar stream. L datum = L kinematics + L LF + L continuity Data-orbit comparison (given the uncertainties) Luminosity Function criteria Stream continuity criteria L acts as ``weight for every star used to obtain stream density plot
15 STREAMFINDER Stream output log-likelihood density plot
16 Multiple stream case : Age = 9-10 Gyrs [Fe/H] = -1.5 to stars per stream Surface brightness ~ 33 mag arcsec -2 (very faint) STREAMFINDER
17 STREAMFINDER Multiple stream case : Age = 9-10 Gyrs [Fe/H] = -1.5 to stars per stream Surface brightness ~ 33 mag arcsec -2 (very faint) STREAMFINDER using different SSP models SSP 1 SSP 2 SSP 3

25 STREAMFINDER Main advantages of the algorithm : Detection of v. faint structures, even if on complex orbits Completing the 6D DF(x,v) of detected stellar streams -useful in the context of galaxy formation.
