Dark matter distribution in dwarf spheroidal galaxies
We present predictions for the line-of-sight velocity dispersion profiles of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and compare them to observations in the case of the Fornax and Draco dwarfs. The predictions are made in the framework of standard dynamical theory of two-component (stars and dark matter) spherical systems with different velocity distributions. The stars are assumed to be distributed accordin...
متن کاملVelocity dispersions of dwarf spheroidal galaxies: dark matter versus MOND
We present predictions for the line-of-sight velocity dispersion profiles of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and compare them to observations in the case of the Fornax dwarf. The predictions are made in the framework of standard dynamical theory of spherical systems with different velocity distributions. The stars are assumed to be distributed according to Sérsic laws with parameters fitted to observ...
متن کاملA Model for Dwarf Spheroidal Satellite Galaxies Without Dark Matter
Self-consistent simulations of the dynamical evolution of low-mass satellite galaxies without dark matter on different orbits interacting with an extended Galactic dark halo are described. The calculations proceed for many orbital periods until well after the satellite dissolves. In all cases the dynamical evolution converges to a remnant that contains roughly 1 per cent of the initial satellit...
متن کاملAbout the morphology of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and their dark matter content
The morphological properties of the Carina, Sculptor and Fornax dwarfs are investigated using new wide field data with a total area of 29 square degrees. The stellar density maps are derived, hinting that Sculptor possesses tidal tails indicating interaction with the Milky Way. Contrary to previous studies we cannot find any sign of breaks in the density profiles for the Carina and Fornax dwarf...
متن کاملScaling Laws for Dark Matter Halos in Late-type and Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
Published mass models fitted to galaxy rotation curves are used to study the systematic properties of dark matter (DM) halos in late-type and dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies. Halo parameters are derived by fitting non-singular isothermals to (V 2−V 2 vis ), where V (r) is the observed rotation curve and Vvis is the rotation curve of the visible matter. The latter is calculated from the surface...
