Confronting the Diversity Problem: The Limits of Galaxy Rotation Curves as a tool to Understand Dark Matter Profiles
Isabel S. Sands, Philip F. Hopkins, Xuejian Shen +9
While galaxy rotation curves provide one of the most powerful methods for measuring dark matter profiles in the inner regions of rotation-supported galaxies, at the dwarf scale the…
Sliding into DM: Determining the local dark matter density and speed distribution using only the local circular speed of the Galaxy
Patrick G. Staudt, James S. Bullock, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +3
We use FIRE-2 zoom simulations of Milky Way size disk galaxies to derive easy-to-use relationships between the observed circular speed of the Galaxy at the Solar location, $v_\math…
Signatures of tidal disruption of the Hercules ultra-faint dwarf galaxy
Xiaowei Ou, Anirudh Chiti, Nora Shipp +6
The Hercules ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD) has long been hypothesized to be tidally disrupting, yet no conclusive evidence has been found for tidal disruption owing partly to diff…
