dc.descriptionThe last 10-20 years has seen a profound shift in views of how the Galaxy's halo formed. The idea of a monolithic early collapse of a single system (Eggen, Lynden-Bell and Sandage 1962) has been challenged by observations at high redshift and by cosmological models of structure formation. These findings imply that we should see clear evidence of hierarchical formation processes in nearby galaxies. Recent studies of our Galaxy, made possible by large-scale CCD surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), have begun to reveal tantalizing evidence of substructure in the outer halo. We review evidence for tidal streams associated with known Milky Way satellites and for star streams whose progenitors are still unknown. This includes results from the SDSS and our own ongoing pencil-beam halo survey, the Spaghetti survey.
