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 …

Excluding fuzzy dark matter with sizes and stellar kinematics of ultrafaint dwarf galaxies

N Dalal, A Kravtsov - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We use observations of ultrafaint dwarf (UFD) galaxies to constrain the particle mass of
ultralight dark matter. Potential fluctuations created by wave interference in virialized “fuzzy” …

RR lyrae stars and anomalous Cepheids as population tracers in local group galaxies

M Monelli, G Fiorentino - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
We discuss the use and importance of pulsating variable stars as population tracers in Local
Group galaxies. Among bright variable crossing the classical instability strip, we mostly focus …
