Structural Diversity Among the Milky Way's Dwarf Spheroidal Satellites
Matthew G. Walker, Raphaël Errani, Andrew B. Pace +3
We fit a flexible double power-law (`') model to the stellar density fields observed for the Milky Way's known dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies. We show that where stand…
Dark Matter in Draco and Boötes I: Hints of a Core in an Ultra-Faint Dwarf from Simulation-Based Inference
Tri Nguyen, Lina Necib, Ting S. Li +8
The density profiles of dwarf spheroidal galaxies are among the most sensitive probes of dark matter physics, yet extracting them from noisy stellar kinematics remains a fundamenta…
Hubble Astrometry for the Local Group and Beyond in the 2030s
S. Tony Sohn, Paul Bennet, Kevin Andrew McKinnon +23
Hubble's long, stable astrometric baseline creates a rare opportunity for discovery in the Local Group and beyond. Many nearby galaxies, streams, and star clusters already have arc…
The DREAMS Project: Disentangling the Impact of Halo-to-Halo Variance and Baryonic Feedback on Milky Way Dark Matter Density Profiles
Alex M. Garcia, Jonah C. Rose, Paul Torrey +23
In this work, we utilize a new suite of Milky Way-mass halos from the DREAMS Project, simulated with Cold Dark Matter (CDM), to quantify the influence of baryon feedback and intrin…
The DREAMS Project: Disentangling the Impact of Halo-to-Halo Variance and Baryonic Feedback on Milky Way Dark Matter Speed Distributions
Ethan Lilie, Jonah C. Rose, Mariangela Lisanti +14
Direct detection experiments require information about the local dark matter speed distribution to produce constraints on dark matter candidates, or infer their properties in the e…
The DREAMS Project: Disentangling the Impact of Halo-to-Halo Variance and Baryonic Feedback on Milky Way Satellite Galaxies
Jonah C. Rose, Mariangela Lisanti, Paul Torrey +24
We analyze the properties of satellite galaxies around 1,024 Milky Way-mass hosts from the DREAMS Project, simulated within a CDM cosmology. Utilizing the TNG galaxy-formation…
