Description

A mock stream of NGC-5466 simulated with the particle-spray code `galpy.df.streamspraydf`, which is an implementation of the Fardal et al 2015 mock stream generation method. The current position and velocity of the progenitor globular cluster is from Vasiliev et al 2019. The progenitor's orbit is back-integrated 5 Gyr in a `galpy.potential.MWPotential2014` potential then forward integrated, forming the tidal tails. The file with the name 'dwarfgalaxy' includes the effects of dwarf galaxies on the stream. For more information see (and cite) https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2022MNRAS.510.2437E.
