thesis
posted on 2022-02-01, 20:58 authored by Alexander MoskowitzAlexander Moskowitz
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.
