The elusive old population of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo I [PDF]
, 1999 We report the discovery of a significant old population in the dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy Leo I as a result of a wide-area search with the ESO New Technology Telescope.

Impact of Cosmic‐Ray Physics on Dark Matter Indirect Searches
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 The quest for the elusive dark matter (DM) that permeates the Universe (and in general the search for signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model at astronomical scales) provides a unique opportunity and a tough challenge to the high energy astrophysics community.

Sagittarius: The Nearest Dwarf Galaxy [PDF]
, 1995 We have discovered a new Galactic satellite galaxy in the constellation of Sagittarius. The Sagittarius dwarf galaxy is the nearest galaxy known, subtends an angle of $> 10$ degrees on the sky, lies at a distance of $24 \kpc$ from the Sun, $\sim 16 \kpc$

The Discreet Charm of Higgsino Dark Matter: A Pocket Review
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 We give a brief review of the current constraints and prospects for detection of higgsino dark matter in low‐scale supersymmetry. In the first part we argue, after performing a survey of all potential dark matter particles in the MSSM, that the (nearly) pure higgsino is the only candidate emerging virtually unscathed from the wealth of observational ...

Are dSph galaxies Galactic building blocks?
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph) are frequently assumed to represent surviving examples of a vast now destroyed population of small systems in which many of the stars now forming the Milky Way were formed. Ongoing accretion and considerable sub-structure

Abundance Analysis of Stars at Large Radius in the Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the stellar parameters and chemical abundances of 30 elements for five stars located at large radii (3.5–10.7 times the half-light radius) in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We selected these stars using proper motions, radial velocities,

The Effect of Tidal Stripping on Composite Stellar Populations in Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]
, 2009 We use N-body simulations to study the effects of tides on the kinematical structure of satellite galaxies orbiting a Milky Way-like potential. Our work is motivated by observations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group, for which often a ...

Bose‐Einstein Condensate Dark Matter Halos Confronted with Galactic Rotation Curves
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 We present a comparative confrontation of both the Bose‐Einstein Condensate (BEC) and the Navarro‐Frenk‐White (NFW) dark halo models with galactic rotation curves. We employ 6 High Surface Brightness (HSB), 6 Low Surface Brightness (LSB), and 7 dwarf galaxies with rotation curves falling into two classes.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Elucidating dark matter density profiles in Galactic dwarf satellites is essential to understanding not only the quintessence of dark matter, but also the evolution of the satellites themselves.

Dwarf Spheroidal Satellite Formation in a Reionized Local Group [PDF]
, 2014 Dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies have emerged a powerful probe of small-scale dark matter clustering and of cosmic reionization. They exhibit structural and chemical continuity with dwarf irregular galaxies in the field and with spheroidal galaxies in
