Abstract

We report on the effect of observational errors when recovering cold streams related to the formation of our Galaxy by analysing the 10% fastest objects within 3 kpc of the “Sun” of an inner halo based on four N− body numerical simulations of the interaction between dwarf galaxies and the Milky Way. Much of the original substructure becomes visible again thanks to the superior precision that Gaia will achieve.
