We study the dynamics of faint stellar substructures around the Umbrella Galaxy, NGC 4651, which hosts a dramatic system of streams and shells formed through the tidal disruption of a nucleated dwarf elliptical galaxy. We elucidate the basic characte... Read More about Kinematics and simulations of the stellar stream in the halo of the Umbrella Galaxy.
