Abstract

Context. The hierarchical structure formation model predicts that stellar halos should form, at least partly, via mergers. If this was a predominant formation channel for the Milky Way’s halo, imprints of this merger history in the form of moving groups or streams should also exist in the vicinity of the Sun.
