The Phoenix stellar stream rose from the ashes of an ancient star cluster
J. M. Diederik Kruijssen (Heidelberg)
TL;DR
This paper presents evidence of an ancient, metal-poor stellar stream that sheds light on the early formation and assembly of the Milky Way galaxy.
Contribution
It provides the first observational evidence of a vanished population of extremely metal-poor stellar clusters in the Milky Way.
Findings
Discovery of a stellar stream from ancient metal-poor clusters
Insights into early Milky Way assembly processes
Remnants of ancient clusters help understand galaxy formation
Abstract
Observations of an ancient stellar stream provide the first evidence of a vanished population of extremely metal-poor stellar clusters. Their remnants might reveal how the early assembly of the Milky Way proceeded.
