Recent discoveries of tidally disrupted stellar streams in the Milky Way halo have led to an abundance of models attempting to constrain the shape of the Galaxy. Instead of simply having a handful of streams that must be modeled individually, there are now tens of known streams that can be modeled in a self-consistent and generalized manner. We present results of simultaneous orbit fits to multiple stellar streams, and constraints on the shape and mass of the Milky Way dark matter halo. This project was funded by the National Science Foundation, AST 06-07618.
