The Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus merger occurred 11.2 ± 0.1 Gyr ago, coinciding with the formation of a group of globular clusters and potentially leaving ω Centauri as its remnant, while placing disk formation at z ≳ 4.

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.
