abstract
This paper uses Gaussian mixture techniques to dissect the Milky Way (MW) stellar halo in angular momentum space. Application to a catalogue of 5389 stars near the plane of the Sagittarius (Sgr) stream with full 6D phase-space coordinates supplied by Gaia EDR3 and SEGUE returns four independent dynamical components. The broadest and most populated corresponds to the `smooth' MW halo. The narrowest and faintest contains 40 stars of the Orphan stream. We find a component with little or no angular momentum likely associated with the GSE substructure. We also identify 925 stars and 7 Globular Clusters with probabilities $>90\%$ to be members of the Sgr stream. Comparison against $N$-body models shows that some of these members trace the continuation of the leading/trailing tails in the Southern/Northern hemispheres. The new detections span $\sim 800^\circ$ on the sky, thus wrapping the Galaxy {\it twice}.

Neighbors, Not Kin: Kinematic evidence for tidal tails from NGC 7492 along the Sagittarius stream
GIRAFFE radial velocities and metallicities confirm NGC 7492 tidal tails extending ≥1.8 deg, kinematically and chemically distinct from the overlapping Sagittarius stream.
