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 …

We study the link between baryons and dark matter (DM) in 240 galaxies with spatially
resolved kinematic data. Our sample spans 9 dex in stellar mass and includes all …

A proper understanding of the Milky Way (MW) dwarf galaxies in a cosmological context
requires knowledge of their 3D velocities and orbits. However, proper motion (PM) …

Positional, structural, and dynamical parameters for all dwarf galaxies in and around the
Local Group are presented, and various aspects of our observational understanding of this …

Aims. We perform a comprehensive determination of the systemic proper motions of 74
dwarf galaxies and dwarf galaxy candidates in the Local Group based on Gaia early data …

We present new constraints on the star formation histories of six ultra-faint dwarf galaxies:
Bootes I, Canes Venatici II, Coma Berenices, Hercules, Leo IV, and Ursa Major I. Our …

We present new nonlinear, time-dependent convective hydrodynamical models of RR Lyrae
stars computed assuming a constant helium-to-metal enrichment ratio and a broad range in …

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 …

We present constraints on the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in two ultra-faint dwarf (UFD)
galaxies, Hercules and Leo IV, based on deep Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera …

Predictions of the concordance cosmological model (CCM) of the structures in the
environment of large spiral galaxies are compared with observed properties of Local Group …
