GD-1 Stellar Stream and Cocoon in the DESI Early Data Release
We present ∼115 new spectroscopically identified members of the GD-1 tidal stream observed with the 5000-fiber Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). We confirm the existence of a "cocoon," which is a broad (FWHM ∼ 2 932 ∼ 460 pc) and kinematically hot (velocity dispersion, σ ∼ 5–8 km s ‑1) component that surrounds a narrower (FWHM ∼ 0 353 ∼
