From observing strategies to velocity dispersion bias: forward modeling unresolved binaries in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies
Xiaowei Ou, Andrew B. Pace, Nitya Kallivayalil +9
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) in the Milky Way are ideal probes of low-mass galaxy formation and dark matter because they are highly dark-matter dominated. In the lowest-mass s…
Constraining the shape of dark matter haloes using only starlight II. Tests of the technique with objects of known gravitational potential
Jorge Sanchez Almeida, Angel R. Plastino, Sergio Guerra Arencibia +2
Under the collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm, galaxies with stellar masses below 10**(5-6) Msun are expected to preserve primordial cuspy dark matter (DM) profiles. Beca…
Hubble Astrometry for the Local Group and Beyond in the 2030s
