Constraining dark matter density profiles with dwarf galaxy kinematics: the 2D and the 6D story
Watanabe 112
Seminar
Speakers: Dr Isabelle Goldstein (Texas A&M University) The stellar kinematics in dwarf galaxies can provide a wealth of information about its underlying dark matter distribution. Line-of-sight velocity dispersion measurements from six classical dwarf galaxies can be used to show that axion-like particles with masses of order m ~ 10^(−22) eV are inconsistent with the potential distribution in ...
