Description
I will review constraints on dark matter (DM) properties from dwarf galaxy luminosity function and stellar velocity dispersion measurements. These data constrain DM models that affect halo abundances (e.g. warm, fuzzy, and interacting DM) and density profiles (e.g. fuzzy, self-interacting, and primordial black hole DM). I will conclude with forecasts for upcoming dwarf galaxy surveys, including from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, highlighting the potential to combine with strong lensing observations from JWST.
