Flipping of the Tidal Tails of the Ophiuchus Stream due to the Decelerating Galactic Bar

The Ophiuchus stellar stream presents a puzzle due to its complicated morphology, with a substructure perpendicular to the main track (spur), a broadened tail (fanning), and a shorter than expected angular extent given its old stellar population and short orbital period. The location of the stream a...
