Distribution of the eight kinematical streams and GSE members as shown in Figure 2. Left panel: chemical abundances, [Mg/Fe]–[Fe/H]. In the background, all of the stars in our data set. Published values for the prograde structures Nyx, Aleph, Wukong, HS, and Sagittarius (Sgr) are highlighted with squares (Necib et al. 2020; Naidu et al. 2020). Right panel: color–magnitude diagram (CMD) MG vs. (GBPGRP)0. We only show the stars with ∣b∣ > 30°. Isochrones of ages 10, 12, and 14 Gyr for [M/H] = −1.0 (aqua), [M/H] = −1.5 (silver), and [M/H] = −2.0 (gold) are from Maíz Apellániz & Weiler (2018).
