The stellar halo of the Milky Way is known to have a highly lumpy structure due to the presence of tidal debris and streams accreted from the satellite galaxies. The abundance and distribution of these substructures can provide a wealth of…

Modeling the Milky Way stellar halo requires well-determined density and velocity anisotropy profiles. However, it has been challenging to gather a large sample of stars with six-dimensional data that extend beyond 40 kpc to map the outer…

Our goal is to recover the Galactic Halo spatial density by means of field stars. To this aim, we apply a new technique to the Capodimonte Deep Field (OACDF, Alcala' et al. 2004), as a pilot study in view of the VLT Survey Telescope (VST)…
