Boötes III has σ_v ≈ 1.7 km/s, a recent ~9.5 kpc pericenter on a polar eccentric orbit, and is actively tidally disrupting, with debris broadly consistent with the Styx stream.

Mutual information analysis of TNG50 simulations shows gravitational potential and total energy retain merger mass and infall time information longest, while radial velocity loses it within ~5 Gyr, with washout depending on radius, merger age, and mass.
300S stellar stream exhibits three density peaks, smooth width variations, a possible 4.7 degree gap, and a kink modeled as resulting from Large Magellanic Cloud interaction across its full known footprint.
Literature compilation of 1032 carbon abundances identifies a new M_V--CEMP fraction relation in dwarf galaxies and infers that the metal-poor Milky Way halo assembled from both UFD-like and intermediate-mass systems.
The MAGIC survey provides photometric metallicities for RGB stars over ~3000 deg² using CaHK narrow-band imaging plus DELVE g,r,i data, recovering 13/14 known ultra-faint dwarfs and confirming a distant Reticulum II member.
Photometric metallicities from DECam identify 213 Jet stream candidates and detect fanning in the stream morphology.
