Description
We present a set of numerical Nbody simulations to investigate the formation of the outer Milky Way's halo trough accretion events. The aim is to explore the orbital conditions where a retrograde signal in the outer part of the halo can be obtained in order to give a possible explanation of the observed rotational properties of the Milky Way stellar halo.
