Testing Emergent Gravity in Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies using Improved Stellar Distributions
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are the smallest, least massive galaxies known. Their extreme dynamical mass to light ratios in excess of 100 M/L [189] make them particularly sensitive to theories of dark matter, dark energy, and modified gravity.
