The lowest luminosity (L) Milky Way satellite galaxies represent the extreme lower limit of the
galaxy luminosity function. These ultra-faint dwarfs are the oldest, most dark matter …

Indirect dark matter searches targeting dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) have matured
rapidly during the past decade. This has been because of the substantial increase in …

We search for excess γ-ray emission coincident with the positions of confirmed and
candidate Milky Way satellite galaxies using six years of data from the Fermi Large Area …

We combine Gaia early data release 3 astrometry with accurate photometry and utilize a
probabilistic mixture model to measure the systemic proper motion of 52 dwarf spheroidal …

The second data release from the Gaia mission (DR2) provides a comprehensive and
unprecedented picture of the motions of astronomical sources in the plane of the sky …

The density profiles of dwarf galaxies are a highly varied set. If the dark matter is an ultra-
light particle such as axions, then simulations predict a distinctive and unique profile. If the …

A new derivation of systemic proper motions of Milky Way satellites is presented and applied
to 59 confirmed or candidate dwarf galaxy satellites using Gaia Data Release 2. This …

Dwarf galaxies are valuable laboratories for dynamical studies related to dark matter and
galaxy evolution, yet it is currently unknown just how physically extended their stellar …

Abstract Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models struggle to match the observations at galactic
scales. The tension can be reduced either by dramatic baryonic feedback effects or by …

Abstract Among the Milky Way satellites discovered in the past three years, Triangulum II
has presented the most difficulty in revealing its dynamical status. Kirby et al. identified it as …
