| Abstract | Approximately 85% of the matter in the universe is thought to be dark matter. The presence of this mysterious component is well documented in large galaxies, but the amounts of dark matter in galaxies much smaller than the Milky Way are poorly understood. With a new dataset of 100,000 dwarf galaxies, this program will measure their composition and proportion of dark matter, stars, and gas. The principal investigators will also use advanced computer models and simulations to explain the most impo |
