 Streams have been populated with one red KIII giant per 40 solar masses (Helmi et al. 2011; Marigo et al. 2008), with M_V = 1, V-I = 1. The sample includes stars with G band > 20, which would be outside of the Gaia limits. Removing these stars eliminates several of the streams. Streams have been populated with one red KIII giant per 40 solar masses (Helmi et al. 2011; Marigo et al. 2008), with M_V = 1, V-I = 1.

 This is the whole stellar halo catalogue based on the Aquarius A-2 simulation. Details about how the catalogue is constructed can be found in Cooper et al. (2010). The catalogue includes all the accreted particles in the stellar halo. It is the parent catalogue used to make the 10 streams in the stream catalogue above. Again the Sun has been placed at 8 kpc with a velocity of (0,220,0)km/s, All positions/velocities are given in heliocentric coordinates. Files are in ASCII format, with the first line giving the number of objects in the file. Notice each object, instead of being a single star, is a particle that represents a single stellar population.
