Stellar streams encode the initial mass function of globular clusters, recovered as a declining power-law with slope 1.3 for streams above 1000 solar masses.
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.
A PINN approach learns galactic gravitational potentials from acceleration data, achieving sub-percent errors on simulations while outperforming analytic models and retaining interpretability via structured priors.
Koposov 2 is shown to be an old (13.7 Gyr) star cluster with half-light radius 2.7 pc, absolute magnitude -0.95, and stellar mass 372 solar masses, supporting a star cluster classification over a dwarf galaxy.
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.
Test-particle simulations show that Galactic bar pattern speed systematically deflects open-cluster tidal tail orientations, with NGC 2632 and Hyades tails disfavouring moderate speeds.
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.
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.
