Caption: Figure 1.

Upper panel: simulated stream mass as a function of initial cluster mass for streams visible at the present day. More massive clusters tend to leave behind more massive streams. Bottom panel: the fraction of mass remaining in visible streams at the present day as a function of the initial cluster mass from simulations. A higher fraction of mass remains in streams from lower-mass star clusters.
