Dwarf galaxies are small, dark matter-dominated galaxies, some of which are embedded within the Milky Way.

The goal of this study is to present the development of a machine learning based approach that utilizes phase space alone to separate the Gaia DR2 stars into two categories: those accreted onto the Milky Way from those that are in situ.

Based on results from Gaia, we estimate that $42 ^{+26}_{-22}\%$ of the local dark matter that is accreted from luminous mergers is in debris flow.

If so, our results indicate that the majority of the local dark matter that is sourced by luminous satellites is in kinematic substructure referred to as debris flow.

The local velocity distribution of dark matter plays an integral role in interpreting the results from direct detection experiments.
