Chemical Cartography of the Sagittarius Stream with Gaia

Chemical Cartography of the Sagittarius Stream with Gaia

The stellar stream connected to the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy is the most massive tidal stream that has been mapped in the Galaxy, and is the dominant contributor to the outer stellar halo of the Milky Way (MW). We present metallicity maps of the Sgr stream, using 34,240 red giant branch stars...
