TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ the final data set from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS), combined with an improved calibration and a newly derived contamination model for the region to revisit this claim, and reanalyse the surrounds to separate the signal of the stellar halo and the outer halo substructure.
