Abstract
I will present an analysis of new photometric and spectroscopic surveys of the Palomar 5 stellar stream, a most thin and fragile stellar structure that inhabits the inner halo of our Galaxy. I will discuss how the dynamics and morphology of this stream are revealing the large-scale distribution of the dark matter, and placing limits on its small-scale lumpiness.
