Scientific paper

Over the past several years, we have been engaged in a project to obtain velocities at large radii in the Draco and Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies. Draco and UMi are low-luminosity. If this excess mass takes the form of dark matter, then Draco, UMi, and other dSphs with large M/L should be excellent laboratories in which to study structure formation and dark matter haloes: low mass galaxies like the dSphs are probably the basic components from which all larger structures form, and an understanding of the low-mass end of the galaxy spectrum provides an important constraint for evaluating Cold Dark Matter (CDM) and other theoretical models of structure formation.
