Hyades. (upper left) Spatial distribution of the members of the Hyades (black), the leading tidal arm (green), and the trailing tidal arm (red) from Jerabkova et al. (2021). The coordinates xMW and yMW refer to a non-rotating rest frame of the Milky Way with a shifted origin at which the position of the Sun lies (0, 0). The positive x-axis points towards the Galactic centre, and the positive y-axis points towards Galactic rotation. The arrow indicates the motion of the star cluster centre in the Galactic rest frame. Upper right: positions of cluster and tidal tidal members in polar coordinates calculated as described in Sect. 2. lower left: radial cumulative distribution of the number of stars in the leading and trailing tidal arm of the Hyades (lower right:) Radial cumulative evolution of the normalised asymmetry (Eq. (1)) considering tidal tail stars with a distance to the cluster centre smaller than or equal to r.
