Re-affirming the connection between the Galactic stellar warp and the Canis Major over-density
Aims:We aim to understand the real nature of the stellar overdensity at southern galactic latitudes in the region of CMa. Methods: We perform a critical re-analysis and discussion of recent results presented in the literature which interpret the CMa overdensity as the signature of an accreting dwarf galaxy or a new substructure within the Galaxy
