What is <strong>the</strong> best Sgr stream model?<br />
Sgr tidal stream has been used to constra<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> shape of <strong>the</strong> dark matter halo of <strong>the</strong> Milky<br />
Way (Johnston et al. 2005; Helmi 2004; Law et al. 2005;Mart<strong>in</strong>ezDelgado et al. 2004)<br />
But <strong>the</strong>re is not a perfect model!:<br />
Radial velocities of <strong>the</strong> Sgr lead<strong>in</strong>g arm<br />
can only fitted with a prolate halo model<br />
(Helmi 2004)<br />
Johnston et al. (2005) f<strong>in</strong>d prolate halos cannot reproduce <strong>the</strong> precession<br />
rate <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> youngest pieces of <strong>the</strong> Sgr stream (exclud<strong>in</strong>g models with q>1)<br />
For our comparison, we will explore both cases: q=0.8<br />
(oblate halo)<br />
q=1.4 (prolate halo)
