Spectroscopic members of the M92 stream yield a Milky Way bar pattern speed of 29.1 +0.7/-0.4 km s^{-1} kpc^{-1}.
Severe gas expulsion and expansion in a primordial star cluster, combined with a top-heavy IMF, can reproduce the high velocity dispersion and broad stream of C-19 without dark matter subhalos.
DESI data on the GD-1 stream identifies a thin cold core and a hot cocoon with 30% of members whose dispersion is consistent with 11 Gyr of dark matter subhalo heating.
TNG50 simulations of 98 Milky Way analogues find GSE-like debris in 32 cases, with two-merger GSEs in one third; single- and two-merger cases differ in median infall time (5.9 vs 10.7 Gyr ago), abundances, and star-formation histories.
The PFS Galactic Archaeology survey will observe thousands of stars in Local Group systems to measure density profiles in dwarfs and compare assembly histories of M31 and the Milky Way.
