C-19 and Hot, Wide Star Streams
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The C-19 star stream has the abundance characteristics of an unusually metal-poor globular cluster but kinematically is uncharacteristically hot and wide for a cluster stream, having a line-of-sight velocity dispersion of 7 ± 2 km s−1 and a 1σ width of 240 pc. We show that the tidal dissolution of an old, lower-mass globular cluster in a cold dark matter (CDM) galactic halo can create a hot, wide stream currently near orbital apocenter. A cosmological Milky Way n-body simulation motivates the parameters for an evolving Milky Way halo potential containing an orbiting subhalo population in which we model a star cluster progenitor of C-19. The same model parameters have been used for a GD-1 stream model. The ∼7 km s−1 velocity dispersion is readily accomplished with an evolving CDM subhalo population, a progenitor cluster mass ≃2 × 104 M ⊙, and an orbit that keeps the progenitor orbital pericenter within about 10 kpc of the Milky Way dark halo or its precursors.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
