Abstract: The kinematics of satellite galaxies moving in a dark matter halo are a direct probe of the underlying gravitational potential. Thus, the phase-space distributions of satellites represent a powerful tool to determine the galaxy-halo connection… read more here.

Abstract: We present new results on the relationship between central galaxies and dark matter haloes inferred from observations of galaxy abundances and satellite kinematics in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7. We employ an updated… read more here.
