Position of the tidal tail in Galactic coordinates as seen from the Solar System. The shown models correspond to those with the closest match for the Pleiades star cluster at the present time. The position of the Pleiades at (l, b) = (166.57, −23.5) is indicated by the black circle. The colour represents the radial component of the tail velocity relative to the cluster as seen from the Solar System (blue for an approaching star). To obtain the velocity relative to the Solar System, this velocity should be added to the relative velocity between the Pleiades and the Solar System. The symbol size shows the stellar number density in the tail at the star; the smallest points are for ntl ≲ 2.0 × 10−5 pc−3.
