Stellar Streams Reveal the Mass Loss of Globular Clusters

Globular cluster (GC) streams, debris of stars tidally stripped from their progenitor GCs, have densities that correlate positively with the GC mass-loss rate. In this work, we employ a novel particle spray algorithm that can accurately reproduce the morphology of streams of various orbital types, e...
