Mass loss from dwarf spheroidal galaxies: the origins of shallow dark matter cores and exponential surface brightness profiles

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies have shallow central dark matter density profiles, low angular momentum and approximately exponential surface brightness distributions. Through N-body simulations and analytic calculations we investigate the extent to which these properties can be generated from ‘typical’ΛC...
