Streams on FIRE: Populations of Detectable Stellar Streams in the Milky Way and FIRE

Streams on FIRE: Populations of Detectable Stellar Streams in the Milky Way and FIRE

We present the first detailed comparison of populations of dwarf galaxy stellar streams in cosmological simulations and the Milky Way. In particular, we compare streams identified around 13 Milky Way analogs in the FIRE-2 simulations to streams observed by the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic S...
