Galaxies<br />

Work of group around G. Gilmore<br />

• Shape of our Galaxy halo: Very spherical:<br />

From precessional disruption of incoming<br />

dwarf galaxies<br />

• Mass of dwarf spheroidal galaxies<br />

• All data consistent with lower limit to dark<br />

matter mass of 5 10 7 M⊙, for a large range<br />

of baryonic mass - direct indication for warm<br />

dark matter (or formation history? effect of<br />

ionization, heating and cooling of satellite<br />

galaxy?)<br />

• Based on Gilmore et al. (2007), and Wyse<br />

& Gilmore (2007):<br />

m DM < 4 keV (AK)<br />
