The lowest luminosity (L) Milky Way satellite galaxies represent the extreme lower limit of the
galaxy luminosity function. These ultra-faint dwarfs are the oldest, most dark matter …

Abstract The Milky Way halo was predominantly formed by the merging of numerous
progenitor galaxies. However, our knowledge of this process is still incomplete, especially in …

We report the discovery of eight new ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates in the second year
of optical imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Six of these candidates are …

We report the results of a systematic search for ultra-faint Milky Way satellite galaxies using
data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and Pan-STARRS1 (PS1). Together, DES and PS1 …

We perform a search for stellar streams around the Milky Way using the first 3 yr of multiband
optical imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We use DES data covering∼ 5000 …

Abstract The population of Milky Way (MW) satellites contains the faintest known galaxies
and thus provides essential insight into galaxy formation and dark matter microphysics. Here …

Positional, structural, and dynamical parameters for all dwarf galaxies in and around the
Local Group are presented, and various aspects of our observational understanding of this …

We show that dissipationless Λ cold dark matter simulations predict that the majority of the
most massive subhaloes of the Milky Way are too dense to host any of its bright satellites …
