This volume is written by leading scientists in the field, who
review the current state of our knowledge of tidal streams in the
Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy, and in other nearby galaxies. The
cosmological origins of dwarf galaxies and the physical processes
by which they are tidally disrupted into streams and incorporated
into galaxy halos are discussed. The techniques that have been used
to identify tidal streams are presented and will be useful to
researchers who would like to find substructures in the next
generation of optical sky surveys, including Pan-STARRS and LSST.
The methods that are currently under development to constrain both
large scale distribution of dark matter in the Milky Way and the
(small scale) lumpiness of the dark matter distribution are also
explained. The authors also provide motivation for future
spectroscopic surveys of Milky Way halo stars, which will aid both
in the identification of tidal streams and the constraint of dark
matter properties. This volume is aimed at graduate students who
are beginning this field of research, but is also a resource for
researchers who study tidal streams and related fields. In addition
to presenting the physical processes by which tidal streams are
created, it also reviews the current state of the observations and
the progress towards utilizing these observations to constrain the
distribution of dark matter in the Milky Way. The book will
introduce anyone with a background in astrophysics to the field of
tidal streams.
