Chemical tagging via Gaussian Mixture Model on multiple abundances shows that halo substructures Sequoia, Heracles, Thamnos, and Helmi Stream are contaminated mixtures dominated by GSE and disc stars, with additional contributions from Sagittarius and omega Cen.
RR Lyrae stars yield metallicity measurements for Milky Way halo substructures including Gaia Sausage/Enceladus at [Fe/H] = -1.57 dex, with some features like ED-1 showing disk contamination and others like Shiva and Shakti suggested as in-situ.
Five halo substructures (disk, Splash, GSE, Thamnos1, Thamnos2) are recovered with distinct chemo-dynamical properties supporting extragalactic origins.
Stellar halos act as transition regions between bright central galaxies and intracluster light, with strong mass correlations, similar colors that redden over time, and a shrinking metallicity gap from 0.4 dex at z=2 to 0.1 dex today.
Using 8D chemical clustering on APOGEE DR17 and kinematic matching to e-TidalGCs simulations, the authors report 470 ω Cen-like stars including 6 kinematically consistent with its stream and additional links to streams from five other clusters, supporting a common disrupted progenitor.
