TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of high-precision photometry obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), two epochs of stellar spectra obtained with Hectochelle Spectrograph on the MMT, and measurements from the Gaia mission is used to examine one of the reported stream-like overdensities at large radii and conclude that it is not a true stellar stream, but instead a clump of foreground stars and background galaxies.
