Local torsion, |τ|, of the MW streams considered in this work, calculated using Eq. (5). The green and red lines and bands of the same shade represent the median value with the interquartile range and the mean value plus or minus one standard deviation, respectively. Stellar streams such as Eridanus and Jet show values of the torsion of the order τ ∼ O(10−3), so their torsion is to be taken as compatible with the influence of a source of the intensity of the galactic plane. The fit to the Sagittarius data was performed dividing the stream into five slices due to its irregular shape.
