Dynamical Masses for a Complete Census of Local Dwarf Galaxies

TL;DR: The 2020s are poised to continue the past 15 years of significant advances based on the discovery and follow-up of nearby dwarf galaxies as mentioned in this paper, and Maximizing the scientific impact of dwarfs discovered in upcoming imaging surveys will require both major spectroscopic surveys on 6-10m telescopes and multiplexed spectroscopy with even larger apertures.

Modeling Galaxy-Mass Correlations in Dissipationless Simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high-resolution dissipationless simulations of the concordance flat LCDM model to make predictions for the galaxy-mass correlations and compare them to the recent SDSS weak lensing measurements.
