A dwarf galaxy remnant in Canis Major: the fossil of an in-plane accretion on to the Milky Way

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the asymmetries in the population of Galactic M-giant stars present in the 2MASS All Sky catalogue is presented, the most significant of which is a strong elliptical-shaped stellar over-density, close to the Galactic plane at (l = 240 ◦, b = 8 ◦ ), in the constellation of Canis Major.

A dwarf galaxy remnant in Canis Major: the fossil of an in-plane accretion onto the Milky Way

TL;DR: An analysis of the asymmetries in the population of Galactic M-giant stars present in the 2MASS All Sky catalogue suggests that the Canis Major dwarf galaxy is a building block of the Galactic thick disk, that the thick disk is continually growing, even up to the present time, and that thick disk globular clusters were accreted onto the Milky Way from dwarf galaxies in co-planar orbits.
