Shany Danieli, Erin Kado-Fong, Song Huang +32
We present the Merian Survey, an optical imaging survey optimized for studying the physical properties of bright star-forming dwarf galaxies. Merian is carried out with two medium-…
EDGE: Predictable Scatter in the Stellar Mass--Halo Mass Relation of Dwarf Galaxies
Stacy Y. Kim, Justin I. Read, Martin P. Rey +6
The stellar-mass--halo-mass (SMHM) relation is central to our understanding of galaxy formation and the nature of dark matter. However, its normalisation, slope, and scatter are hi…
EDGE: Dark matter core creation depends on the timing of star formation
Claudia Muni, Andrew Pontzen, Justin I. Read +5
We study feedback-driven cold dark matter core creation in the EDGE suite of radiation-hydrodynamical dwarf galaxy simulations. Understanding this process is crucial when using obs…
EDGE: A new model for Nuclear Star Cluster formation in dwarf galaxies
Emily I. Gray, Justin I. Read, Ethan Taylor +8
Nuclear Star Clusters (NSCs) are amongst the densest stellar systems in the Universe and are found at the centres of many bright spiral and elliptical galaxies, and up to 4…
EDGE -- Dark matter or astrophysics? Breaking dark matter heating degeneracies with HI rotation in faint dwarf galaxies
Martin P. Rey, Matthew D. A. Orkney, Justin I. Read +6
Low-mass dwarf galaxies are expected to reside within dark matter haloes that have a pristine, `cuspy' density profile within their stellar half-light radii. This is because they f…
EDGE: The direct link between mass growth history and the extended stellar haloes of the faintest dwarf galaxies
Alex Goater, Justin I. Read, Noelia E. D. Noël +9
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) are commonly found in close proximity to the Milky Way and other massive spiral galaxies. As such, their projected stellar ellipticity and extende…
Milky Way satellite velocities reveal the Dark Matter power spectrum at small scales
Ivan Esteban, Annika H. G. Peter, Stacy Y. Kim
Dark Matter (DM) properties at small scales remain uncertain. Recent theoretical and observational advances have provided the tools to narrow them down. Here, we show for the first…
The PAndAS View of the Andromeda Satellite System. IV Global properties
Amandine Doliva-Dolinsky, Nicolas F. Martin, Zhen Yuan +8
We build a statistical framework to infer the global properties of the satellite system of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) from the properties of individual dwarf galaxies located in th…
EDGE: The shape of dark matter haloes in the faintest galaxies
Matthew D. A. Orkney, Ethan Taylor, Justin I. Read +5
Collisionless Dark Matter Only (DMO) structure formation simulations predict that Dark Matter (DM) haloes are prolate in their centres and triaxial towards their outskirts. The add…
Andromeda XXV -- a dwarf galaxy with a low central dark matter density
Emily J. E. Charles, Michelle L. M. Collins, R. Michael Rich +7
Andromeda (And) XXV has previously been reported as a dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) with little-to-no dark matter. However, the uncertainties on this result were significant. In t…
Streams on FIRE: Populations of Detectable Stellar Streams in the Milky Way and FIRE
Nora Shipp, Nondh Panithanpaisal, Lina Necib +18
We present the first detailed study comparing the populations of stellar streams in cosmological simulations to observed Milky Way dwarf galaxy streams. In particular, we compare s…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Cosmological Simulations for Dark Matter Physics
Arka Banerjee, Kimberly K. Boddy, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine +15
Over the past several decades, unexpected astronomical discoveries have been fueling a new wave of particle model building and are inspiring the next generation of ever-more-sophis…
Snowmass2021: Vera C. Rubin Observatory as a Flagship Dark Matter Experiment
Yao-Yuan Mao, Annika H. G. Peter, Susmita Adhikari +30
Establishing that Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a flagship dark matter experiment is an essential pathway toward understanding the physical nature of dark matter. In the past two de…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Dark Matter Physics from Halo Measurements
Keith Bechtol, Simon Birrer, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine +41
The non-linear process of cosmic structure formation produces gravitationally bound overdensities of dark matter known as halos. The abundances, density profiles, ellipticities, an…
EDGE: the puzzling ellipticity of Eridanus II's star cluster and its implications for dark matter at the heart of an ultra-faint dwarf
Matthew D. A. Orkney, Justin I. Read, Oscar Agertz +6
The Eridanus II (EriII) 'ultra-faint' dwarf has a large () and low mass () star cluster (SC) offset from its centre by $23\pm3\,\text{…
EDGE: What shapes the relationship between HI and stellar observables in faint dwarf galaxies?
Martin P. Rey, Andrew Pontzen, Oscar Agertz +5
We show how the interplay between feedback and mass-growth histories introduces scatter in the relationship between stellar and neutral gas properties of field faint dwarf galaxies…
Core-collapse, evaporation and tidal effects: the life story of a self-interacting dark matter subhalo
Zhichao Carton Zeng, Annika H. G. Peter, Xiaolong Du +5
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) cosmologies admit an enormous diversity of dark matter (DM) halo density profiles, from low-density cores to high-density core-collapsed cusps.…
The Milky Way satellite velocity function is a sharp probe of small-scale structure problems
Stacy Y. Kim, Annika H. G. Peter
Twenty years ago, the mismatch between the observed number of Milky Way satellite galaxies and the predicted number of cold dark matter (CDM) subhalos was dubbed the ``missing sate…
EDGE: Two routes to dark matter core formation in ultra-faint dwarfs
Matthew D. A. Orkney, Justin I. Read, Martin P. Rey +6
In the standard Lambda cold dark matter paradigm, pure dark matter simulations predict dwarf galaxies should inhabit dark matter haloes with a centrally diverging density `cusp'. T…
