Abstract

Many stellar tidal streams in the outer halo of the Milky Way Galaxy have been found since 1994. Some streams are formed from dwarf satellites and others from globular clusters. More and more observational and theoretical studies on the stellar streams have been done during recent 20 years or so, from which some important results were gained.
