Tracing the Past: The Ancient Metal-Poor C-19 Stellar Stream Extends Over 100 Degrees
The C-19 stellar stream, one of the most metal-poor structures in the Milky Way, has been found to extend over 100 degrees in the sky. Using Gaia data and advanced algorithms, researchers identified 12 new members, confirming its ancient origins. The stream is wider and more dynamically hot than expected, suggesting early disruption by dark matter or stellar interactions. These findings provide new insights into the formation of the first stellar structures in our galaxy.

Exploring the Metal-Poor Stream C-19: A Glimpse into Galactic Formation
The C-19 stellar stream, the most metal-poor known, may originate from a disrupted globular cluster or dwarf galaxy. Researchers confirmed its uniform metallicity and velocity dispersion, challenging existing formation theories. The findings highlight C-19's potential as a key to understanding early galactic evolution.
