Baryonic solutions and challenges for cosmological models of dwarf galaxies

LV Sales, A Wetzel, A Fattahi - Nature Astronomy, 2022 - nature.com
Galaxies and their dark-matter haloes have posed several challenges to the dark energy
plus cold dark matter (Λ CDM) cosmological model. These discrepancies between …

The faintest dwarf galaxies

JD Simon - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
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 …

The global dynamical atlas of the milky way mergers: Constraints from Gaia EDR3–based orbits of globular clusters, stellar streams, and satellite galaxies

K Malhan, RA Ibata, S Sharma, B Famaey… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org

We present results from the" Mint" resolution DC Justice League suite of Milky Way–like
zoom-in cosmological simulations, which extend our study of nearby galaxies down into the …

Proper motions, orbits, and tidal influences of milky way dwarf spheroidal galaxies

AB Pace, D Erkal, TS Li - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …
