Flipping of the Tidal Tails of the Ophiuchus Stream due to the Decelerating Galactic Bar

Flipping of the Tidal Tails of the Ophiuchus Stream due to the Decelerating Galactic Bar

The Ophiuchus stellar stream presents a puzzle due to its complicated morphology, with a substructure perpendicular to the main track (spur), a broadened tail (fanning), and a shorter than expected angular extent given its old stellar population and short orbital period. The location of the stream a...
