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.

Simulations show that observed rotation in 13.5-Gyr-old alpha-rich stars constrains the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus merger to mass ratios below 1:4, with interaction and starburst times both near 11 Gyr.
Forecasts indicate CSST can detect wide binaries in Segue 1 down to fb ~ 0.01 with 2300 stars but needs 6000 stars and fb ~ 0.1 to distinguish cusped from cored dark matter profiles.

Constraining Dark Matter Density Profiles in UFDs with Wide Binaries: Forecast for the Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope
Forecasts indicate CSST can detect wide binaries in Segue 1 down to fb ~ 0.01 with 2300 stars but needs 6000 stars and fb ~ 0.1 to distinguish cusped from cored dark matter profiles.
