Description
The dark matter content of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) is the subject of considerable debate1–5. Stellar streams, which form when a host galaxy tidally strips stars from an orbiting stellar system, provide a powerful technique to constrain the dark matter content of external galaxies6. The stripped stars form long, thin leading and trailing tidal arms that persist for billions of years.
