Discovery of extended tidal tails around the globular cluster Palomar 13

We use photometry from the DECam Legacy Survey to detect candidate tidal tails extending ∼5° on either side of the Palomar 13 globular cluster. The tails are aligned with the proper motion of Palomar 13 and are consistent with its old, metal-poor stellar population. We identify three RR Lyrae stars...
