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…
