Top panel: stars part of the substructures identified by Dodd et al. (2023) in (E, Lz, L⊥) space at the present day, colour-coded by tλ. Stars with tλ > 13.7 Gyr are shown in black. The light grey stars in the background correspond to the whole local halo sample. A number of substructures and regions of (E, Lz, L⊥) space are labelled in the leftmost panel. Middle panel: same as the top panel, but after 10 Gyr of integration time in the fiducial potential, and only showing stars whose final three apocentres were on average larger than 7 kpc. Bottom panel: also after 10 Gyr of integration time, but showing (EJ, Lz) and (EJ, L⊥) instead of E. We have indicated the line EJ = E−Ωb Lz for E = −25 000 km2 s−2 (corresponding to the upper limit in energy of the top and middle panel) and E = 0 km2 s−2 (corresponding to unbound stars in our potential).
