• Stellar Tidal Stream: (edge­on galaxies) • What is the role of these processes in the formation of the halos and their globular cluster systems? • Extended outer disks: ­ • Is observed halo sub­structure degree consistent with the CMD theory simulations? Where are the “missing satellites”? • Can tidal debris explain the metal­rich halos? Can we trace the dark matter around neaby spirals with tidal streams? (face­on galaxies) • Are extended disk of spirals formed via satellite acretion? • What are the mechanisms of star formation in these very low density galactic regions? Are they older than the normal disks?
