Joint gas and stellar dynamical models of WLM: an isolated dwarf galaxy within a cored, prolate DM halo
We present multitracer dynamical models of the low-mass (M * ∼ 10 7), isolated dwarf irregular galaxy WLM in order to simultaneously constrain the inner slope of the dark matter (DM) halo density profile (γ) and flattening (q DM), and the stellar orbital anisotropy (β z, β r). For the first time, we show how jointly constraining the mass
