The mass profiles of dwarf galaxies from Dark Energy Survey lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Joseph Thornton, Alexandra Amon, Risa H. Wechsler, Susmita Adhikari, Yao-Yuan Mao | Summary: We present a novel approach to extracting dwarf galaxies from photometric data to measure their average halo mass profile with weak lensing. We characterise their stellar mass and redshift distributions with a spectroscopic […]
