The Spectacular Tidal Tails of Globular Cluster M3 (NGC 5272)

The Spectacular Tidal Tails of Globular Cluster M3 (NGC 5272)

We provide a detailed analysis of the tidal tails of the globular cluster M3 (NGC 5272). We first discover clear extratidal structures with a slight S shape near the cluster. This inspires us to examine the existence of its long tidal tails. We highlight potential stream stars using the proper motio...
