Kraken reveals itself: the merger history of the Milky Way reconstructed with the E-MOSAICS simulations

Globular clusters (GCs) formed when the Milky Way experienced a phase of rapid assembly. We use the wealth of information contained in the Galactic GC population to quantify the properties of the satellite galaxies from which the Milky Way assembled.
