Dark matter concentrations and a search for cores in Milky Way dwarf satellites

Joe Wolf, James S. Bullock

We investigate the mass distributions within eight classical Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies (MW dSphs) using an equilibrium Jeans analysis and we compare our results to the ma…

Modeling mass independent of anisotropy

Joe Wolf

By manipulating the spherical Jeans equation, Wolf et al. (2010) show that the mass enclosed within the 3D deprojected half-light radius r_1/2 can be determined with only mild assu…

From Galaxy Clusters to Ultra-Faint Dwarf Spheroidals: A Fundamental Curve Connecting Dispersion-supported Galaxies to Their Dark Matter Halos

Erik J. Tollerud, James S. Bullock, Genevieve J. Graves +1

We examine scaling relations of dispersion-supported galaxies over more than eight orders of magnitude in luminosity by transforming standard fundamental plane parameters into a sp…

A Complete Spectroscopic Survey of the Milky Way Satellite Segue 1: The Darkest Galaxy

Joshua D. Simon, Marla Geha, Quinn E. Minor +9

We present the results of a comprehensive Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopic survey of the ultra-faint Milky Way satellite galaxy Segue 1. We have obtained velocity measurements for 98.2% o…

Local Group Dwarf Spheroidals: Correlated Deviations from the Baryonic Tully-Fisher Relation

Stacy S. McGaugh, Joe Wolf

Local Group dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies are the faintest extragalactic stellar systems known. We examine recent data for these objects in the plane of the Baryonic Tully-Fi…

Stealth Galaxies in the Halo of the Milky Way

James S. Bullock, Kyle R. Stewart, Manoj Kaplinghat +2

We predict that there is a population of low-luminosity dwarf galaxies orbiting within the halo of the Milky Way that have surface brightnesses low enough to have escaped detection…
