TL;DR: In this paper, an abundance matching technique was introduced to produce a more accurate estimate of the pre-infall halo mass of satellite galaxies for satellite galaxies to achieve this, using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the GAMA survey and the Bolshoi simulation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the projected density profile, shape and alignment of the stellar and dark matter mass distribution in 11 strong-lens galaxies and found that over several half-light radii, the dark matter haloes of these lenses are rounder than their stellar mass distributions.

TL;DR: In this article, a FLAMES+GIRAFFE spectroscopy of 36 member stars in the isolated Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxy Tucana was presented, and the authors measured a systemic velocity for the system of vTuc=216.7+2.9−2.1 kpc−1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the cosp core problem in ultra-faint dwarfs simulated as part of the "Engineering Dwarfs at Galaxy formation's Edge" project and find that gravitational potential fluctuations within the central region of simulated dwarfs kinematically heat the dark matter particles, lowering the dwarfs' central dark matter density.

TL;DR: In this paper, the status of kinematic observations in Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) is reviewed and some general features of dSph dark matter haloes based on simple mass models are presented.
