From Supermassive Black Holes to Dwarf Elliptical Nuclei: a Mass Continuum
, 2006 Considerable evidence suggests that supermassive black holes reside at the centers of massive galactic bulges. At a lower galactic mass range, many dwarf galaxies contain extremely compact nuclei that structurally resemble massive globular clusters.

The Kinematics of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
, 1997 I review observational data on the kinematic properties of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the halo of the Milky Way and beyond. The present data confirm previous claims that these galaxies have unusually large central velocity dispersions. `Simple' sources of bias such as binary stars, internal atmospheric motions, measurement errors, and small sample ...

The Proper Motion of Draco II with HST Using Multiple Reference Frames and Methodologies
The Astrophysical JournalWe present proper motion (PM) measurements for Draco II, an ultrafaint dwarf satellite of the Milky Way. These PMs are measured using two epochs of Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Advanced Camera for Surveys imaging separated by a 7 yr temporal baseline ...

The Dark Matter Content of Milky Way Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies: Draco, Sextans, and Ursa Minor
The Astrophysical JournalThe Milky Way Survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has so far observed three classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs): Draco, Sextans, and Ursa Minor.
