Description
The less massive galaxies, such as dwarf galaxies are ideal laboratories for exploring the fundamental nature of dark matter because they are largely dark matter-dominated systems. Their structural and dynamical properties provide unique opportunities to place constraints on dark matter distributions on small scales. However, uncovering their dark matter distributions requires detailed kinematic data from plenty of stellar samples and a robust understanding of the systematic uncertainties in dynamical modeling.
In this talk, I will present current efforts to constrain the dark matter profiles of the dwarf galaxies using dynamical analyses of the available data. I will also discuss future prospects for these studies, highlighting anticipated advances in data quality and dynamical modeling.
