Determining orbits for the Milky Way's dwarfs.
LUX H., READ J.I. and LAKE G.
Abstract (from CDS):
We apply our technique to nine Milky Way dwarfs with observed proper motions. We show that their mean apocentre is lower than the mean of the most massive subhaloes in our cosmological simulation, but consistent with the most massive subhaloes that form before z = 10. This lends further support to the idea that the Milky Way's dwarfs formed before reionization.
