Galactic stellar haloes in the CDM model
We present six simulations of galactic stellar haloes formed by the tidal disruption of
accreted dwarf galaxies in a fully cosmological setting. Our model is based on the Aquarius …

Velocity substructure from Gaia and direct searches for dark matter
Data from the Gaia satellite show that the solar neighborhood of the Milky Way's stellar halo
is imprinted with substructure from several accretion events. Evidence of these events is …
