Using a shallow, two-color survey carried out with the Dark Energy Camera, we detect the southern, possibly trailing arm of the Orphan Stream. The stream is reliably detected to a declination of $-38^circ$, bringing the total known length of the Orphan stream to $108^circ$. We find a slight offset or S shape in the stream at $delta simeq -14^circ$ that would be consistent with the transition from leading to trailing arms. This coincides with a moderate concentration of $137 pm 25$ stars (to $g = 21.6$) that we consider a possible remnant of the Orphan progenitor. The position of this feature is in agreement with previous predictions.
We have developed a method for estimating the properties of the progenitor dwarf galaxy from the tidal stream of stars that were ripped from it as it fell into the Milky Way. In particular, we show that the mass and radial profile of a progenitor dwa
Prominent in the `Field of Streams -- the Sloan Digital Sky Survey map of substructure in the Galactic halo -- is an `Orphan Stream without obvious progenitor. In this numerical study, we show a possible connection between the newly found dwarf satel
We use astrometry, broad-band photometry and variability information from the Data Release 2 of ESAs Gaia mission (GDR2) to identify members of the Orphan Stream (OS) across the whole sky. The stream is traced above and below the celestial equator an
Stellar tidal streams provide an opportunity to study the motion and structure of the disrupting galaxy as well as the gravitational potential of its host. Streams around the Milky Way are especially promising as phase space positions of individual s
We report positions, velocities and metallicities of 50 ab-type RR Lyrae (RRab) stars observed in the vicinity of the Orphan stellar stream. Using about 30 RRab stars classified as being likely members of the Orphan stream, we study the metallicity a
