Dark matter density profiles of the Milky Way satellite population: reconciling simulations and observations
Jorge Sarrato-Alós, José María Arroyo-Polonio
The cusp-core problem remains a key challenge for the CDM model. Historically, comparing inner dark matter halo slopes () from simulations and observations has s…
HRMOS: A High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph for the VLT
Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Sofia Randich +174
This White Paper presents the scientific rationale and instrument concept for HRMOS (High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph), a next-generation instrument proposed for the ESO V…
Multi-component, axisymmetric dynamical models of dSphs based on distribution functions: inferences on dark matter and intermediate-mass black holes in Draco and Ursa Minor
R. Pascale, G. Battaglia, J. M. Arroyo-Polonio +3
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are prime laboratories for studying dark matter (DM) and the black hole demographics in the low-mass regime. These systems are also often flattene…
Estimating the dynamical masses of dwarf galaxies in the presence of binary-star contamination
José María Arroyo-Polonio, Giuseppina Battaglia, Guillaume F. Thomas
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) show extreme dynamical mass-to-light ratios of approximately 100-5000 in solar units within the half-light radius, making them critical tests for…
Carbon measurements in two ultra-faint dwarf galaxies: Grus II and Tucana IV
Valentina Verdiani, Ása Skúladóttir, Romain Lucchesi +7
The ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) are some of the oldest and most metal-poor environments in the Local Group. In particular, they are predicted to host the first stars (only H…
A 3D view of dwarf galaxies with Gaia and VLT/FLAMES II. The Sextans dwarf spheroidal
Eline Tolstoy, Giuseppina Battaglia, José María Arroyo-Polonio +7
The Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy has been challenging to study in a comprehensive way as it is highly extended on the sky, with an uncertain but large tidal radius of between 80…
Chemo-dynamics of the stellar component of the Sculptor dwarf galaxy I: observed properties
José María Arroyo-Polonio, Giuseppina Battaglia, Guillaume F. Thomas +3
Aims. Recently, both the presence of multiple stellar chemo-kinematic components and rotation in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy have been put into question. Therefore, we re-…
Dark-matter central density, annihilation J-factor and decay D-factor of the Fornax, Sculptor and Leo I dwarf spheroidal galaxies
Carlo Nipoti, Raffaele Pascale, José María Arroyo-Polonio
The dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) satellites of the Milky Way (MW) are nearby astrophysical laboratories to study the nature of dark matter (DM). We present some properties of…
The Pristine survey: XXV. The very metal-poor Galaxy: Chemodynamics through the follow-up of the Pristine-Gaia synthetic catalogue
Akshara Viswanathan, Zhen Yuan, Anke Ardern-Arentsen +27
The Pristine-\textit{Gaia} synthetic catalogue provides reliable photometric metallicities for 30 million FGK stars using the Pristine survey model and Gaia XP spectra. We pe…
HRMOS White Paper: Science Motivation
Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Anna Brucalassi +52
The High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph (HRMOS) is a facility instrument that we plan to propose for the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO)…
