We review our current understanding of the internal dynamical properties of the dwarf
spheroidal galaxies surrounding the Milky Way. These are the most dark matter dominated …

Using the photometric parallax method we estimate the distances to∼ 48 million stars
detected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and map their three-dimensional number …

We present the first all-sky view of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy mapped by M-giant star
tracers detected in the complete Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). Near-infrared …

We present structural parameters from a wide-field homogeneous imaging survey of Milky
Way satellites carried out with the MegaCam imagers on the 3.6 m Canada–France–Hawaii …

We have used data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 to explore the
overall structure and substructure of the stellar halo of the Milky Way using∼ 4 million color …

The gas-deficient dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies present an evolutionary puzzle that we
explore in 40 early-type and late-type dwarfs in the Local Group and nearby field. Although …

We present a synthesis of recent photometric and kinematic data for several of the most dark
matter dominated galaxies, the dwarf spheroidal Galactic satellites, and compare them to …

We present the results of a comprehensive Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopic survey of the ultra-
faint Milky Way satellite galaxy Segue 1. We have obtained velocity measurements for …

We use N-body simulations to study the evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs)
driven by galactic tides. We adopt a cosmologically motivated model where dSphs are …

We present a Parkes multibeam H i survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This
survey, which is sensitive to spatial structure in the range 200 pc to 10 kpc, complements the …
