| Abstract: |
We examine the region of sky in the vicinity of the Cetus Polar
Stream and find indications of at least three narrow and metal poor
streams at distances ranging from from 28 to 37 kpc and extending over
60 degrees of sky. We suggest that we may have resolved the
substructure in this region into a number of relatively cold streams,
and that the original Cetus Polar Stream detection may have sampled
two or more of these streams. Similarities in distance and
orientation suggest that these streams may be dynamically related
and/or share a common origin. |
