Bar-induced migration can move ω Cen from the GSE phase-space region, but requires Ω_b ≲ 26 km s^{-1} kpc^{-1}, challenging consensus on the bar speed.
DESI K-giant catalog identifies Aleph, Sagittarius, GSE, Cetus-Palca and Orphan-Chenab, then shows residual halo high-angular-momentum stars have bimodal MDFs unlike GSE or Sagittarius.
C-rich AGB stars trace the Galactic warp with larger amplitudes than Cepheids at intermediate ages of about 1 Gyr.
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.
FIRE-2 simulations show that stellar radial redistribution scatter saturates at ~2 kpc for stars older than ~3 Gyr, with net orbital changes depending on age and current radius, broadly matching Milky Way observations.
A large sample of blue horizontal-branch stars reveals that the Milky Way halo anisotropy increases from the center, stays radially dominated after removing merger debris, and shows older stars on colder, less radial orbits in the inner regions.
The Milky Way retrograde halo contains debris from multiple accreted dwarf galaxies, shown by distinct metallicity distribution peaks that remain separate even when combined with orbital dynamics.

Bar-induced migration of $\omega$ Centauri away from Gaia Sausage-Enceladus

Characterizing the velocity anisotropy of the Milky Way's stellar halo
A large sample of blue horizontal-branch stars reveals that the Milky Way halo anisotropy increases from the center, stays radially dominated after removing merger debris, and shows older stars on colder, less radial orbits in the inner regions.
