Description
I present a novel approach to classify stellar streams and shells using the clustering algorithm AstroLink. This density-driven approach is applied to tidally disrupted stellar shells and streams formed in mock MW static haloes. AstroLink can identify the structures formed from the N-body simulations and provide clues to identifying streams and shells based on the ordered density distribution. This work is currently submitted to PASA for publication.
