Best-fitting orbit of the Jhelum stellar stream in cylindrical Galactocentric coordinates (top panel). The thick light blue line denotes the observed extent of Jhelum. The same orbit simultaneously matches the location of the Indus stream (thick dark blue line). The dense Jhelum component is closer to the Galactic plane than the diffuse component (bottom panel).
