Halo Densities and Pericenter Distances of the Bright Milky Way Satellites as a Test of Dark Matter Physics

Kevin E. Andrade, Manoj Kaplinghat, Mauro Valli

We provide new constraints on the dark matter halo density profile of Milky Way (MW) dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) using the phase-space distribution function (DF) method. Afte…
